LARGE INDUSTRIAL CLOCK We have never had this clock before made in the 1950's or thereabouts by MAGNETA an English Clock Company specialising in electric clocks for industry. The crisp black arabic numerals and the dotted minute track are raised from the clear white perspex dial which is protected by glass fitted to the grey metal rim. You rarely find clocks of this size with the hands protected by glass. A stunning piece. We have now converted it with a high torque quartz movement for perfect time-keeping. 102 cm Diameter  REF: EL/080 |
LARGE ANTIQUE TURRET CLOCK A very unusual metal clock dial from the 1950's with applied white chevron numerals and oblong minute markers. We have made the hands in the style that compliments the dial and fitted a heavy duty quartz movement to them for perfect timing. Will look fantastic in a modern setting. Origin probably Swiss or German. Price also includes the original hands if required. 137 cm Diameter £ 2250 To Buy £ 220 To Hire Click Image for Full Details REF: EL/011 |

POST MODERN WALL CLOCK The attraction of this clock is its paired down simplicity. A slim metal rim encasing a white perspex dial with arabic numerals in a 1960's typeface. We have replaced the original redundant electric movement with a high torque quartz for perfect timing. The size of the clock and it's simple graphics make a a strong impact when mounted on the wall. ATO is the name of the original French clock manufacturer. Size: Diameter 85cm £ 1350 To Buy £125 To Hire REF: EL/083 |
ART DECO WALL CLOCK This is a French metal cased wall clock that would have originally hung outside and was powered electrically. It will now find a home on some spacious wall where its octagonal shape and art deco appearance will make it stand out. We have now fitted it with a modern high torque movement for convenience of perfect timekeeping. This is a very heavy clock and will need a sound wall to hold it in place. Size: 70cm x 16cm deep REF: EL/084 |

 |
||
LARGE ANTIQUE TURRET CLOCK Probably would have adorned a large public building somewhere in France anytime around 1880. These dials are rare because each Roman numeral is a seperate enamel segment. These are called cartouche numerals fired at 800 degrees on copper sheet. Later the sheet iron dial was introduced like the one on the right because it was less expensive to produce. The clock has its original hands which can be substituted for replica ones which we then fit to a high torque quartz movement. This is only the second enamel dial we have had in the last 5 years. Size: 105cm Diameter REF: EL/075 |
LARGE ANTIQUE TURRET CLOCK A bold iron clock face with black Roman numerals (distressed) on a similarly distressed off white background. Probably French or German and dating from 1890 this dial will draw attention to itself either hanging on the wall or standing in a corner of a room. The clock can be converted with a high torque quartz movement and replica hands so it will work perfectly as a timekeeper or you can have it simply as a decorative item. Size: 130cm Diameter £1650 To Buy £165 To Hire REF: EL/076 |

GIANT ANTIQUE TURRET CLOCK This is the biggest clock we have ever had. you can just imagine when it was high up on a big public building how easy it would have been to read the time. This clock deserves a very special place as a focal point in a large hotel lobby or entrance to an important office building. The original hands would have been driven by a massive turret clock movement and now function purely decoratively. A unique clock dial. It's very unlikely we will ever get enough square dial of this scale. Size: 190cm Diameter Circa 1900 £2450 To Buy £200 To Hire REF: EL/077 |

LARGE FRENCH ANTIQUE TURRET CLOCK The charm of this dial comes from its weathered appearance with its chalky white roman numerals and turqoise centre. We have now fitted the dial with replica hands and a heavy duty quartz movement. CIRCA 1900 117cm Diameter £2350 To Buy £150 To Hire REF: EL/010 |

||
LARGE ANTIQUE SQUARE TURRET CLOCK DIAL Square dials of this size are far less common and can look impressive either hung on the wall using the purpose made bracket or allowed to lean againt the wall or in the corner of a large room. This clock has its original hands but we would need to make replica hands in lightweight material if you would want it be working with a heavy duty quartz movement. 126 cm Square £ 1150 To Buy £125 To Hire Click Image for Full Details REF: EL/012 |

LARGE ART DECO TURRET CLOCK The Neutral colours of this clock will fit into any modern decor.

LARGE ANTIQUE TURRET CLOCK Probably would have adorned a large public building somewhere in France anytime around 1900 - 1920 judging by the classic gold roman numerals on a black background. The centre of the dial is a feded bluey green. The dial is now fitted with replica hands and a heavy duty quartz movement for perfect time keeping. Easy to hang from the purpose made bracket. CIRCA 1920 125cm Diameter £1950 To Buy £195 To Hire REF: EL/070 |
ANTIQUE TURRET CLOCK Originally this iron dial was high up on some public building in France around 1900. It would have been powered by a gigantic movement with weights and pendulum long since seperated from the dial. we have made lightweight replica hands to fit a high torque quartz movement that ensures perfect time keeping. A bold red centre and gold roman numerals on a black background immediately draws the eye to this clock apart from its impressive size.

LARGE ANTIQUE ILLUMINATED 2 SIDED CLOCK
A perfect clock if you've got the space to hang it. As it is 2 sided it would look great in a covered arcade or a room with very high ceilings. The dial lights up and the clock is powered by two electric motors. The space at the top and bottom is ideal for advertising as shown by the wording 'Clock House' where presumably it must have originally hung. It is fully working but needs to be certified by a qualified electrician before installion. 130 cm x 77 cm x 40 cm Depth £ 950 To Buy £ 150 To Hire Click Image for Full Details REF: EL/007 |

GERMAN INDUSTRIAL WALL CLOCK This is an iconic industrial wall clock from the late 1960's. Many of the German clocks of this period used the baton numerals designed by Hans Hilfiker for the Swiss Federal railway clocks back in the 1940's. He in turn was influenced by the Bahaus movement. The size plus the colour of the case and the hands against the black and white dial will draw your eye to this clock in any setting.

INDUSTRIAL CLOCK Here is a chunky no nonsense industrial clock probably from the 1930's judging by the style of hands and domino piece numerals which stand proud of the dial itself.
