Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:554461 | Brand: Wakita |
| Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
Vintage, Vibrant Memphis Style Clock designed by Shohei Mihara. Believed to be Wakita HiTech for Canetti. Guessing it is late 80s era. Model of the clock is "Super Present". Bright yellow face with a red, purple, amd green body. Body is made of plastic. Measures about 7" wide at base, 6.5" tall includong snooze button. Cosmetically, it is in really good condition. Clean and very minimal surface wear. It is MISSING the back ba...ttery cover.
Functionally, with a "C" battery installed, this clock ran for 24 hours no problem. However, I did notice that the second hand was loose, and will need tightening. I did not pay attention to accuracy, just noted it ticked. The alarm feature was also working when I tested it. It was a pulsing bell ringing sound. I am unsure how long it will tick with secondhand loose. Because of the questionable functionality, we are starting it at a great bid price with NO reserve. Probably a simple step to tighten second hand, but I do not know how to do it. It is a very cool and collectible piece for any clock lover. Thanks for looking!
