The Cronotime clock consists of three rotating, adjustable parts. Enclosed in a single piece of shaped ABS, it was originally designed for Fiat as a gift item and later got wider production and distribution with Ritz-Italora. It was the first transistor clock ever made. This first has earned it a place in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and on the cover of the prestigious magazine "Form" (issue 46, May 1969) NB. The sculptural and tactile quality of this item makes it easy to use. By rotating the two sections of the curved cylinder, the clock face (a section of the casing) can be adjusted and turned, making the Cronotime as practical as it is fun.
