This is a model Hr 5284 made by Philips in West Germany, which was available in red/orange and grey/black colours schemes. It's a small unit, measuring just 12cm across the front, with a height of 7cm and a depth of 6cm, with the only departure from the smooth lines and surfaces being the alarm control button on the top of the body. The seconds hand is of the silent sweep variety and the face has fluorescent indicators. Time and alarm time setting is achieved via the adjuster at the rear of the body, which performs both roles with a push/pull mechanism. Please note, the alarm is a "buzzer" style and is relatively subdued. A service might improve this (i.e. make it louder), of course.

In good working condition with just a few minor surface blemishes/grazes to be expected of an item of this age and use.

It is mains powered. The alarm functions perfectly and is set using the dial on the rear of the body, where the dial to set the time is also located. The buzzer is extremely effective as a waker-upper - in other words, it's loud. The lamp flashes at the same time meaning you've absolutely no excuses for missing your wake up call! The alarm is deactivated on a temporary basis by pushing the button down on top of the unit and disabled more permanently by sliding the button slightly forwards when depressed, to latch it in place.

In good condition, with only minor signs of wear and age to the plastic body, and fully functional.

A really nice-looking and effective alarm clock which hopefully will find a suitably retro environment in which to wake up the inhabitants!
