Known for their presence in British railway stations, factories, and schools, these clocks are highly sought after by collectors and vintage decor enthusiasts.


Key Features & Details

Manufacturer: Gents' of Leicester (Iconic British clockmaker).

Date of Origin: 16-4-1969 (Verified by internal markings).

Design: Classic large-scale circular design with a robust brown casing and a brass-toned bezel.

Dial: Aged cream face with bold black Arabic numerals and original tapered batten hands.

Condition: Vintage "patina." The casing and face show natural aging that adds to its character and authenticity.

Mechanism: Original internal "slave" movement is intact.


Technical Note:

This is a Slave Clock. Historically, it was controlled by a central "Master Clock" system.

Current State: Sold as a non-functional collector's item/display piece.

Restoration Potential: For those looking to make it a working timepiece, these are easily converted to run on a modern "impulse driver" (battery or mains) which retains the original mechanical "click" every 30 seconds.

Why Buy This Piece?

Whether you are a serious horology collector or looking for a statement piece for a modern loft, office, or café, this clock offers a level of authenticity that modern reproductions can't match.
