History Of Wall Clocks in Brief


 
Fashion & Cosmetics
Speaking about a 70's alarm clock, energy alarm clocks come to the mind of most of people that in fact belong to the 1950s. In fact, retro time embraces the period of several generations and we often have great memories connected with this time. The same concerns different discoveries that took place many years ago. Thus, for instance, the first alarm clocks looked more like sundials or obelisks made by age-old Egyptians. These clocks used to show daylight hours rather precisely but the old people had some problems with telling time at night when the sun wasn’t in the sky. Later such clocks as mineral water timepieces, hour glasses and other were invented.

However, the most popular clocks ever invented and being used are electro-mechanical clocks that have been manufactured for many ages already. This clock is much more convenient in usage in comparison with a sundial and an obelisk that cannot even be located indoors. Nevertheless, kitchen table lamps were popular for some period of time as well, especially if we speak of Midcentury design. Contemporary Midcentury design fashion includes definite strains and sometimes mathematical models along the goods. While the old style timepiece is represented by an alarm clock with clear palms and text letters. Such wall clocks are mostly used in village houses or garages colored in white and black.

The next more conventional type of clock is the starburst time that attracted attention of many people. This timepiece used definite ultraviolet rays creating some geometric form. Such clocks can be nowadays found in the living areas and dinner spaces including homes of the 1950s and 1960s.

One deviation of these timepieces is a ball timepiece. This type of clock had design and style similar to those of the starburst, but in spite of cables used in the starburst a ball timepiece had vibrant balls.

Speaking about types of retro clocks, a Kit-Cat wall clock is worth attention. It was invented in 1932 plus and it looks like a cat having the shape of a joyful cartoonish dark cat. It also has a cat’s eye which moves back and forth counting the seconds. This type of clock is often called "Felix Clock" due to its peculiarities. By the way, a Kit-Cat wall clock can be rightfully called the first "retro clock" if we characterize what a retro clock is in its nature. Today, this type of clock is still produced and is in great demand among people of all ages.

As you can see, wall clocks manufactured nowadays may have the most impressive styles and designs, however travel alarm clocks from the Midcentury present day period of time offer extremely exquisite geometric schemes. The shape of a clock can be rectangular, triangular, round, and any other shape you can think of. There’re cheap clocks and those that are extremely expensive. Many people highly appreciate digital alarm clocks of the 70s for their old style. So, choose the clock that would perfectly meet your desires and preferences!
