Seiko Melodies in Motion Wall Clock

This is a contemporary Seiko Melodies in Motion musical wall clock, likely from the early to mid-2000s. The clock features an oval-shaped plastic housing with a faux wood-grain finish on the outer bezel and a glossy cream-colored inner face. The dial is characterized by large Arabic numerals on a white ring, surrounding a central gold-tone core. A notable feature is the mechanical animation: the upper portion includes two rotating figures dressed in jester/harlequin attire (blue and red), flanked by crystalline gear-like wheels. The lower section features a rotating pendulum decorated with crystals, set within a mirrored alcove to enhance light reflection. The clock is designed to play various melodies on the hour, synchronized with the movement of these internal components. Construction consists primarily of high-impact plastic and clear acrylic glazing. Notable craftsmanship details include the intricate crystal-set markers on the dial and the gold-tone filigree surrounding the central face. The condition appears fair, with visible dust accumulation on the exterior and some surface scuffing on the plastic casing. A small yellow price tag or sticker is visible in the upper left corner of the clear covering, which may leave adhesive residue. There are no obvious cracks or missing mechanical parts, though functionality of the quartz movement and musical sensor would require testing.
