Remarkably unremarkable, quite common in Europe, but never featured on this forum, so here we go
Made in the 70's by Wigo, a branch of the German company Wiegold & Co in Elberfeld. It is a very compact clock, measuring only 14 x 8 x 7 cm in the minimalist Bauhaus style. No alarm, so the only control is the big red thumbwheel on the back to set the time. The bulge on the back is there to accommodate the motor. It looks like they wanted to make the enclosure as small as possible although if that really was the goal they could have squeezed out a bit more air.
It is fairly easy to open, but be careful not to break a lip like I did
The mechanism and motor are from Rhythm (recognisable by the squarish font used on the tiles). Both are quite reliable and easy to service in my experience.
