    Description

    This is a vintage Daum Crystal Clock in a beautiful Art-Deco style design but, unfortunately, the clock is not working.
    The clock is battery operated. I received it as a gift many years ago but did not test it at that time. I only recently took it from storage only to find that it does not work and, apparently, never did. A clock repair shop told me that it cannot be fixed and that I would have to buy a new Quartz clock insert if I wanted a working clock. (Please see the last two photos which show the existing insert removed and the battery placement inside). Daum does not offer replacements but inserts seem readily available online.
    However, if you want to keep the Daum clock face intact, this would serve as a great paperweight.
    The piece is approximately 5” tall x 5” wide and 2 1/2" deep. It is quite heavy, weighing approximately 3.9 pounds.
    The front of the clock is frosted while all other sides are clear crystal.
    There are no scratches or chips on the piece - it is in pristine condition.
    The piece carries the original Daum label and the words "Daum France" are acid-etched on the side (see photos #5 and #6).
