I have had the white or ivory "Moderne" for a few years it runs beautifully. Over the holidays I acquired the pink "Moderne", it runs but is slow which means I will be cleaning its open motor, oil tends to thicken in these motors over the years and slow them down. Once opened the main part of the motor has three gears that turn the second wheel that drives the numeral drums on the clock, a quick degreasing and fresh oiling and the clock is like new. The pink clock had it's cord cut but I replaced it. Both clocks measure 5 5/8 inches in length, 3.75 inches in height, and 3.25 inches in depth.
The case was designed by Peter Muller-Munk, in the forth picture. Muller-Monk designed the "Unisphere" for the 1964 Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!.!!.!!.!!
