$92.51 $115.64
Looking for a charming slice of mid-century modern flair to brighten up your space? Look no further!
⏰ This Vintage 1963 Westclox “Sphinx” Electric Alarm Clock is a true MCM treasure—complete with a solid wood trapezoid-shaped case in a lovely light brown/blond finish, a sleek black dial, and gold-tone metal feet that add just the right touch of retro glamour.
▪️ Authentic Mid-Century Pedigree: Manufactured by Westclox (formerly Western Clock Co. Limited) in Peterborough, Canada, this clock embodies the sleek style of the 1960s. The original sticker is still on the bottom, and the previous owner wrote the date “08/11/63” on the back—how cool is that?
▪️ Subtle & Functional Alarm: The alarm has been tested and works great—pleasantly subtle so you won’t wake the entire neighborhood. 🔊 If you want to hear it in action, check out my Instagram @vintagebyfatima for a demo!
▪️ Quiet & Reliable: This clock features a plug-in electric synchronous motor (typical of mid-century clocks) rather than a battery-powered quartz movement. This means it relies on the 60 Hz frequency of household current to keep time—no ticking battery sounds here!
▪️ Wooden Deco Case: Made of solid wood, finished in a light brown/yellowish tone. It’s shaped like a trapezoid for that distinctive MCM flair. The gold-tone feet have a felt covering to protect your furniture.
▪️ Analog Display with Character: The numerals once glowed in the dark (a common feature in older clocks), but the luminescence has faded over time. Still, they remain a bright and easy-to-read white.
▪️ Perfect MCM Accent Piece: Place it in your bedroom, living room, or home office for a stylish nod to 1960s décor. It’s also wonderfully quiet—ideal if you love vintage clocks but not the constant ticking.
