StandardDescription
While this looks like it might belong in a spy movie, it is actually a charming piece of "cameralia"—a collectible novelty clock designed to look like a vintage 35mm SLR. Produced by the giftware company Ganz, this miniature desk clock features a heavy die-cast metal body with chrome accents and a black textured "leatherette" grip, mimicking the aesthetics of the classic cameras in your collection. The "lens" of the camera serves as the clock face, featuring a standard Japanese quartz movement. The design is a generic homage to the SLR form factor, complete with a faux pentaprism, shutter speed dial, and film advance lever. On the back, the original manufacturer's sticker is still intact, identifying it as a product from Cheektowaga, NY.Category
