A mechanical alarm clock housed in a cylindrical metal case with a dark, oxidized finish. The clock features a top-mounted bell with a central carrying ring and two thin, fluted metal feet. The aged paper or cardboard dial is heavily yellowed and displays black Arabic numerals for the hours. A sub-dial located at the 12 o'clock position is used for setting the alarm, while a smaller seconds sub-dial is positioned above the 6 o'clock mark. The dial is decorated with three specific heraldic shields: two black shields flanking the center arbor each depict a Totenkopf (skull and crossbones), and a third shield at the bottom center features a tricolor diagonal pattern of black, white, and red. The brass backplate is stamped with functional German instructions: WECKER above AUFZUG (alarm wind), WECKER above STELLUNG (alarm set), GEHWERK above AUFZUG (movement wind), and ZEIGERSTELLUNG (hand setting) below the center knob. A regulation scale at the bottom is marked SCHNELL (fast) and LANGSAM (slow) with F and S indicated above an adjustment lever. While web intelligence suggests a possible association with Junghans, the maker's name is not readable on any part of the exterior or dial.Measurements/notes: Clock 6.25 in. H x 5 in. W.
