+ THE STORY

Coca-Cola has always understood that the brand is the object — that putting the name on something well-made is its own kind of statement. This vintage gold carriage clock, made in Germany by Ridgeway, is that statement in miniature: classic carriage clock form, gold-tone finish, the iconic branding that has been recognizable for over a century. German clockmaking and American advertising Americana in one piece. The carriage clock format is inherently elegant — the arched case, the visible movement, the proportions that have been right since the 19th century. The Coca-Cola branding gives it the particular nostalgia of soda memorabilia at its best: cheerful, confident, entirely of its era.

+ WHY WE CHOSE IT

Because a Ridgeway carriage clock with Coca-Cola branding made in Germany is a specific and wonderful intersection of craft traditions. Because advertising memorabilia at this quality level is increasingly hard to find. Because German clockmaking and American branding in one object is a combination that deserves to be appreciated.
