5.5x3x2 In.

This compact desk clock unites timekeeping with a perpetual calendar, offering the day, date, and month alongside the hour. Its chrome-plated rectangular case, clean lines, and bold Arabic numerals reflect the streamlined aesthetics of the interwar and postwar decades, when Art Deco and modernist design shaped everyday objects.

Above the dial, twin windows mark the date, while a lower aperture spells out the month and day, allowing the owner to track the passage of time at a glance. Produced in Europe and widely used across India and other colonial/postcolonial contexts, these desk calendar clocks were fixtures of mid-20th century offices, banks, and clubs — where they embodied a culture of punctuality, efficiency, and order

Made in an age increasingly defined by paperwork, correspondence, and punctuality, these clocks condensed order into a single object: practical, modern, and quietly elegant.
