1960s Floral Travel Alarm Clock with Orange Dial

$58.00
A cheery mid-century Phinney-Walker travel alarm clock tucked inside a round floral compact case. The outer shell is wrapped in black fabric sprinkled with bright orange, pink, and purple flowers, while the dial glows in a warm orange sunburst with bold 12-3-6-9 numerals. It’s a mechanical wind-up alarm, so you still get that satisfying tick and classic ring when it goes off.

Open the compact and the clock tilts forward for easy bedside or desk viewing, then folds back into its little floral “pocket” when you’re done. It’s equal parts functional travel companion and retro décor accent.

📚 Historical Context

Phinney-Walker was a well-known name in mid-century travel and dashboard clocks, supplying German-made movements to the American market. By the 1960s, compact travel alarms like this were designed to double as décor, bright colors, playful fabrics, and portable cases that could slip into a suitcase or sit on a vanity.

This round floral version captures that era perfectly: a bit of mod color, a bit of cottage charm, and a very practical mechanical alarm hidden inside.

✨ Condition Notes

- Ticks and runs; alarm function tested and working.
- Floral fabric covering is in nice vintage condition with light overall wear from use.
- Gold-tone metal shows some finish wear and tiny spots, mostly on the back and inner edges, consistent with a 1960s travel piece.
- Lens is clear with normal light surface marks from age.
- There is a slight bend in the hinge area, so the compact does not close perfectly flush like a brand-new case. It still opens and closes normally and feels secure for display and gentle use, but it sits with the tiniest gap rather than a tight snap-shut seal.
- Marked GERMANY on the movement.

(As with all vintage mechanical alarms, minor timekeeping variation is normal; occasional regulation and regular winding will keep it happiest.)
