Buyer's premium:

This contemporary novelty clock features a timekeeping mechanism integrated into a repurposed cast metal housing, likely an industrial or automotive component, made of aluminum or a light alloy. The clock face is a compact disc (CD) displaying black sans-serif numerals from 1 to 12, with black hour and minute hands and a red second hand. The reverse reveals a ‘YOUNG TOWN’ quartz movement marked ‘CHINA’, powered by a ‘KODAK ZINC AA R6P 1.5V’ battery. The metal housing bears a stylized ‘N’ logo and the word ‘PATENTED’ cast into it, alongside a sticker indicating ‘CE’ conformity and ‘MADE IN ITALY’, suggesting its original component’s origin.
