PYRAMID CLOCK BY HIDEKATSU NOMIZU FOR TOCHIGI TOKEI, 1989s
Postmodern pyramid clock from 1989, designed by Hidekatsu Nomizu for Tochigi Tokei, and representative of the object clocks typical of the late 1980s. The model features a pyramid-shaped acrylic case, fully transparent and designed to highlight the clock as a standalone design object. The white plastic base provides a clear geometric contrast and stabilizes the light, architectural form.
The clock is fitted with gold-colored hands and numerals, which are easy to read and add a subtle accent to the otherwise minimal material palette. The case was manufactured in Hong Kong, and the quartz movement is Japanese, a common combination of the period that ensures precise and reliable performance. This is an original piece, with no modern reproductions or later modifications. It is one of the designs that illustrates the shift from everyday functional clocks to decorative design objects particularly well. Thanks to its clear geometric form, it works both as a functional timepiece and as a design statement within an interior. An appealing piece for collectors of postmodern everyday objects, design enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates 1980s design.
