This striking vintage wall clock is a beautiful piece of Vietnamese handicraft, expertly shaped into the silhouette of the country. The deep, polished dark finish serves as a dramatic backdrop for the extensive mother-of-pearl inlay. The clock face itself is a work of art, featuring twelve different animal figures from the zodiac intricately rendered in iridescent shell. At the top and bottom of the map, you will find detailed shell representations of famous landmarks from Hà Nội and Sài Gòn (Ho Chi Minh City), complete with their names in elegant script.

This timepiece is an excellent statement piece for a home office, library, or a room dedicated to world travel and culture. Its large scale and high-contrast materials make it a focal point that combines functionality with traditional artistry. This clock is a wonderful find for collectors of Asian art or anyone looking for a unique conversation piece that honors Vietnamese heritage.

This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While it appears to be in good condition and works well, please note that the seconds hand has some missing paint, the number 1 on 10 is missing and the battery holder is cracked; however, this does not affect the clock's function. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
