Rumours Miniature Gold-Tone Quartz Alarm Clock
This is a decorative miniature table clock designed in the classic 'twin-bell' alarm clock style. The item features a polished gold-tone metallic finish, likely brass plating over a base metal. It stands on two small peg feet and is topped with two non-functional decorative bells and a curved handle. The white dial is protected by a clear lens and features black Roman numeral hour markers, a rail-track minute ring, and gold-tone hour, minute, and second hands. The face is marked with the brand name 'Rumours' at the 12 o'clock position, 'QUARTZ' above the 6 o'clock position, and 'Japan Movt' at the very bottom. Condition-wise, the gold plating shows significant Surface wear, including visible scuffing, minor pitting, and fine scratches throughout the body, particularly on the top bells and handle. There is a small crown at the 12 o'clock position for time adjustment. Based on the branding and quartz movement, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century to early 2000s and was intended as a novelty gift or desk accessory.
