1967 CORSAIR ELECTRIC ZODIAC CLOCK

1967. RareZodiac “Corsair Electric” desk clock in gold-plated metal, featuring an electric movement, a central second hand, and a calendar. Its case echoes the slightly barrel-shaped design of the “Corsair” wristwatch

Originally launched as an elegant and affordable automatic watch, the Corsair line quickly evolved to embrace bolder design elements, in line with the trends of the time. 

Here is what René Calame, the head of Zodiac, said in 1965:

I could say that our policy has led us to create watches with much more distinctive features than those of most of our competitors. We are now reaping the rewards of the efforts we have made—and will continue to make—in this direction. Indeed, we are convinced that, in the future, watch buyers will place increasing importance on the “personalization” of a model and will seek, above all, to own a timepiece that reflects their tastes and personality.

This piece stands out for its design. It's rare.
