Wall Clock - Calor 34.07 – Space Age Tuning Fork Wall Clock – JECO Japan / Lic

Vintage CALOR “Diapason Electronic” wall clock, model 34.07, fitted with an original Japanese JECO electronic tuning-fork movement manufactured under Bulova licence. A striking and increasingly uncommon example of early electronic horology from the transitional period between conventional mechanical clocks and the later quartz era. The clock has a strong 1970s Space Age / Pop aesthetic, with a softly rounded square case, warm cream / champagne-beige finish, vivid orange dial, large white Arabic numerals and cream hands with fine red detailing. The dial is marked: CALOR diapason electronic The internal mechanism is particularly interesting. It is an original JECO Co. Ltd. Japan electronic tuning-fork movement, clearly marked: LIC. BULOVA and carrying US patent references visible on the movement. JECO was an established Japanese manufacturer of electric and electronic clock mechanisms, and its tuning-fork movements belong to the relatively short-lived but technically fascinating generation of electronic timekeeping developed before quartz became dominant. Unlike a conventional quartz clock, this mechanism uses an electronic tuning-fork regulating system, making the clock considerably more interesting from a technical and collecting point of view. The internal/rear casing also carries the marking “PVC 180”, which appears to be a manufacturing or material reference rather than a separate brand designation. Condition and operation The clock has been tested and is working correctly. It runs continuously and keeps time accurately during testing. The movement is powered by a battery. Battery is NOT included in the sale. The clock is in good vintage condition, with signs of age and use consistent with its period. Please note: - some scratches and surface marks are present on the transparent plastic front cover; - two of the retaining clips/tabs of the transparent front cover are partially damaged/broken; - despite this, the front cover remains securely and stably in position during normal use; - the cream/champagne case shows light age-related wear; - the orange dial remains visually attractive and retains a strong authentic 1970s appearance. Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description and clearly show the cosmetic condition, internal movement, markings and retaining clips.
