Item: Vintage Jefferson "500" Electric Desk Clock (Catalog No. 580-221)Maker: Jefferson Electric Co., Bellwood, IllinoisEra: Introduced in 1958Style: Mid-Century Modern / Space Age / Postmodern "Bullet"Dimensions: 5 1/4" H x 4 11/16" WPower: 115V AC 60 Cycle (Plug-in)
Designed in 1958 by the internationally renowned Dave Chapman design firm, the Jefferson "500" was patterned after a ship's binnacle (compass). Its heavy, slanted bullet-shaped profile and high-polish chrome finish make it a striking sculptural piece that perfectly complements Mid-Century Modern, Space Age, and Brutalist interiors.
Unlike ticking clocks, this model utilizes a high-quality synchronous motor for a completely silent, continuous sweeping red second hand. A clever design feature allows any excess power cord to be wound and hidden out of sight within the satin black base. A fantastic, fully functional piece of mid-century horology.
