Bradley Mickey Mouse Alarm Clock, 1980s

Dealer description — Analog/Shift

Sure, Analog:Shift is a business built around the love of wristwatches — primarily higher-end mechanical watches, to be honest. But it’s our love for timepieces, timekeeping, and artifacts from history in general that are the common themes present in the items we procure. And that includes a love of clocks in general: pocket watches, travel clocks, and more. After all, in the couple hundred years before the First World War, personal timekeeping was all about the pocket watch, and before that, it was larger clocks that were front and center, horologically. We still believe a good clock deserves a place in any watch lover’s collection. This charming vintage find features the ever-cheerful, round-eared rodent that calls back to the child in us all — Mickey Mouse! This playful alarm clock features Mickey at the center of the dial with his arms functioning as hour and minute hands to keep you on time with a healthy dollop of whimsy. This large clock, built for Bradley in Germany, is an officially licensed Walt Disney Productions product dating to the 1980s. The clock has a traditional two-bell and hammer mechanism and an alarm window used to set the alarm time directly below the 12 o’clock position. Standing on a pair of stylized brass legs, this round-bodied clock is finished in a cheerful red housing with yellow alarm bells and a warm creamy white dial. This vintage Mickey alarm clock is the perfect way to lighten up the mood in any living space and comes with its original box and guarantee/instruction manual. Set the time, wait for the bell, and remember not to take all of this so seriously!
