A lovely little egg: Rhythm 5RD005 / LW-15

I love this clock! Unusual but very nicely shaped little alarm clock. Pity the window is cracked, but ok, I can live with that.



There is no brand name on the outside, but the mechanism is labeled Rhythm. I have seen clock online these also branded Citizen. The mechanism is identical to the one in my other Rhythm clock.

This is indeed a very nice clock. The clockwork is very sturdy and reliable, the housing unfortunately is cheaply made. Almost all of these I come across have cosmetical issues. I suspect that is one of the reasons so very few survived into the 21st century.

Having said that, I just checked my humungous pile of parts clocks and I have one of these with a cracked housing but an uncracked front 'glass'. Send me a message if you're interested.

I didn't even notice it was cracked until you said something lol. Nice find!

Oh man. This is right up my alley. Really like this little egg.

you can convert one of these to 110v/60hz, the motors are interchangeable as are the parts for the motor. The trick is finding one of these in a good cosmetical condition...
