About the Item

This 1980s standing clock, produced in the style of Gerrit Rietveld, is a striking example of late-20th-century modernist and constructivist design. Built around a strong vertical composition, the clock features a blackened wooden frame with clearly articulated horizontal and vertical elements—an unmistakable nod to De Stijl and Rietveld’s architectural approach to furniture and objects. The open, graphic structure emphasizes balance, proportion, and material honesty rather than ornament. The square clock face sits proudly at the top, clean and minimal, while the exposed pendulum and cylindrical weights create a rhythmic, almost sculptural presence as they move. The mechanical heart of the piece was produced by Kieninger, Germany, a respected maker known for precision and durability, ensuring both visual impact and reliable timekeeping. Confident, architectural, and intellectually playful, this clock works as both a functional object and a statement piece. Ideal for collectors of postmodern design, modernist interiors, or anyone drawn to the intersection of art, architecture, and horology. The clocks mechanism works perfectly and is still accurate. The clock chimes on the half hour and complete hour. The clocks surrounding has signs of use consistent with age.
