Our classic Antique Home 49011 table clock
Our watch of the week is the Antique Home 49011 table clock. It belongs to the classic table clocks, yet it is designed in a very elaborate and elegant way. Like many other table clocks from the Antique Home brand, it belongs to the retro and vintage watches. Learn more now about what makes it such a clock.
Retro and vintage clock
The term retro in many areas refers specifically to appearances that consciously draw on older traditions or features. The term retro wave describes a cultural movement that presents itself as an intentionally backward-looking fashion. Vintage, when used for clothing, furniture, musical instruments, jewelry, accessories, pictures, vehicles, or other everyday objects, describes an appearance that makes the item look as if it had been bought at a flea market or inherited.
Our Antique Home 49011
The classic square table clock measures 24 x 15 cm and consists of a silver-colored metal frame. At the top, this joins together into a kind of decorative bracket. This strongly resembles the look of a pocket watch, which also has such a bracket above the case. The middle edge of the case already belongs to the dial and was made from a beige-brown mango wood. The combination of wood and silver-colored metal is what makes the table clock so special. The also square white dial has four black Roman numerals, a long bar index, and black hands. The dial also reads Mclaughlin & Scott Estd. 1972 CAMBRIDGE. This automatically makes the living room clock a retro and vintage clock as well.
Other Antique Home models
Another Antique Home model would be the 49010, which is made entirely of silver-colored metal and has a freely hanging dial within the square case. Beneath it is a slight step-like tier that looks like a staircase.
The 49009 also consists of the silver-colored frame; here, large Roman numerals connect the dial with the case frame. What all the clocks have in common is that they are retro clocks and that they all have the bracket of a pocket watch above the case.
