This is an extremely unique and rare vintage Rhythm musical mantel clock from Japan. The Japanese name in English is “Small World Workings”. While the music plays, the number wheel rotates with the spinning gears and moving figurines. The magic motion and animation that this clock has to offer is very hard to find in a mantel clock. If you are familiar with current model Rhythm clocks, this one is actually an early version of the popular “Gadget” series. Another interesting feature with this model is that is also doubles as an alarm clock; the melodies can play hourly and also as an alarm! Just flip the switch on the back to change modes. It plays 4 melodies and one alarm chime.
Notes: This model has a few scuffs and scratches here and there, but it works great! Not many clocks have both an hourly chiming function as well as an alarm function. It’s a really fun one to watch; watch the video for a demonstration!
