Overview
The Vintage Tamura Electronics Lumitime Clock Model CC 11 is a beige retro alarm clock crafted in Japan in the late 20th century. Built around a quartz movement with a digital display and Arabic numerals, this piece embodies a distinctive 1980s aesthetic and nostalgic charm.
Key Features
- Quartz movement for precise timekeeping
- Digital display with Arabic numerals
- Built-in snooze alarm and alarm function
- Illuminates beautifully when plugged in
- Bold color and oversized numerals add vintage character
- Made in Japan, rare find for collectors
Condition & Restoration Potential
Not working properly and in need of repair. In nice physical condition for its age. The clock lights up when plugged in, but attempts to adjust the current time have issues: the ALARM DISPLAY knob at the bottom functions, while the minute and hour knobs feel stuck and do not turn. The digital numerals cannot be changed, if they are meant to change at all. The casing separated slightly when opened, but further opening was avoided to prevent damage. This combination makes it an appealing restoration project for a knowledgeable clock hobbyist or a collector seeking a rare, bold-toned piece.
Ideal For
- Restoration hobbyists looking for a vintage Tamura Lumitime CC 11
- Clock collectors seeking a rare 1980s Japanese-made piece
- Décor enthusiasts wanting a distinctive display with nostalgic flair
Why This Stands Out
Among Lumitime models, this CC 11 stands out for its bold beige color and sizable numerals, a packaging style rarely seen today. Its combination of original features (snooze alarm, alarm function) and the warm, retro aesthetic make it a compelling centerpiece for any room or collection, even as a repair project that could fully restore its former functionality.
