Introducing this rare Poppo series wood carving clock by Tezuka Clock Co.
The Poppo series was born during Japan's postwar reconstruction period, and Tezuka Clock Co. was one of the first companies to resume production. Its products not only met domestic demand, but were also exported to the United States and Europe. Many Poppo series clocks are marked "Made in Occupied Japan" (1945-1952), which is a symbol of the post-war Allied occupation of Japan, indicating that they were produced during a critical period of Japan's economic recovery. These clocks are not only practical timekeeping tools, but also a microcosm of Japan's postwar economic recovery and industrial innovation. They have important historical value for collectors.
Poppo is a brand launched by Tezuka Clock Co. in post-war Japan (late 1940s to 1970s), mainly focusing on carved wood clocks, especially Moving Eye clocks.
This is one of the most famous models in the Poppo series. It is a clock in the shape of a moving eye dog. The clock's eyes will move left and right to the rhythm of the second hand, creating a lifelike effect. This mechanical design was very innovative at the time.
The clock is mainly made of wood with a carved shell, and plastic eyes and internal mechanisms. The carved wood parts are usually hand-polished to present a warm wood texture. This traditional craft has gradually disappeared in modern mechanized production.
Tezuka Clock Co. closed in the 1970s and the Poppo series has long been discontinued. This clock is extremely rare.
【situation】
Appearance: ★★★☆☆ A very beautiful product, but due to its age, it is inevitable that there will be some historical traces, especially the dog's nose is a little missing, but overall it has no effect on the outline of the clock.
Function: ★★★★☆ The eye of the clock will swing left and right with the rhythm of the second hand. The clock can also operate after being wound, but the accuracy of the time cannot be guaranteed.
*Since it is an old item, it has gone through the baptism of history and there are inevitably traces. There is no other exactly the same item in the world. Perfectionist guests please think twice before placing an order. If you have any questions or need more pictures, please feel free to ask. We hope this lovely old item can add some color to your day!
