1980s Pierre Cardin Dual Time Alarm Clock with Original Box
A vintage Pierre Cardin Series 107 dual time zone executive alarm clock featuring both an analog quartz dial and a digital LCD display in a navy blue and gold-tone rectangular case. It has that very specific 1980s “important desk, glass ashtray, power meeting at 10” energy: compact, stylish, and wonderfully period-correct.
This clock includes its original Pierre Cardin box, instruction manual, and limited warranty paperwork, which adds a lot of charm and collectability. The clock has been tested and is working: the analog clock ticks, the digital display keeps time, and the alarm function works.
Please note: Etsy listing videos are silent by default and Etsy only allows 15 second video clips, so the video may cut off before showing all the features. The clock has still been fully tested: the analog clock ticks, the digital display keeps time, and the alarm function works as it should.
📚 Historical Context
In the 1980s, the desk clock got a promotion.
The old brass mantel clock had been running the office for decades, but suddenly the executive suite wanted buttons, LCD screens, world-travel energy, and just enough gold trim to suggest somebody nearby owned a fax machine. This Pierre Cardin Series 107 sits right in that moment, part fashion label, part office gadget, part “dual time zone” ambition.
Manufactured in Hong Kong during the British Crown Colony era, this clock reflects a period when Hong Kong was a major hub for compact electronic goods, especially quartz clocks, travel alarms, calculators, radios, and desk accessories. Pierre Cardin licensed pieces like this brought designer branding into everyday objects, turning a simple alarm clock into something that looked ready for an airline lounge, a corporate desk, or the nightstand of someone who absolutely owned a briefcase.
It is equal parts practical clock and tiny 1980s time capsule.
