Alarm clock - Réveil mécanique vintage White Dove à...

Vintage White Dove double-bell mechanical alarm clock – China – 1960s/1970s Vintage tabletop mechanical alarm clock from the Chinese brand White Dove (White Dove), dating roughly from the 1960s-1970s. This model is distinguished by its chromed metal case with geometric lines, featuring the characteristic hexagonal/trapezoidal shape of retro design from that period. Its silhouette, chrome finishes, and its two upper bells give it the decorative presence typical of mid-20th-century mechanical alarm clocks. The cream dial presents stylized, highly legible Arabic numerals, accompanied by green minute markers. The alarm setting is indicated under the 12 o’clock position. The logo depicting a dove, as well as the text “Made in China,” are visible on the lower part of the dial. The clock has two distinct winding springs, one for the movement and the other for the chimes, as well as a double-bell alarm system with a central hammer.
