This is a good quality antique 13.5-inch station wall clock, by Anglo Swiss Watch Co., designed for use as a municipal / railway / station clock, housing a timepiece mechanism, circa 1930, with an ebonized mahogany case, which has been lovingly restored to its former glory and is now in good working order.
This 13.5-inch station wall clock houses a quality single brass barrel spring driven featuring a timepiece mechanism. We believe the mechanism may be an English Smith’s mechanism due to its design but it is not stamped Smiths. During this time, the Smith’s company was exporting English mechanisms to the British colonies, where they were cased locally.
This 13.5-inch station wall clock features a beautiful mahogany case, with a moulded brass bezel, a pendulum access door on the underside and a mechanism-viewing door on the left-hand side that allows you to view the mechanism whilst in operation. There are four wooden pegs which secure the front of the clock to the
... case. The mahogany case has been cleaned and wax polished by hand and it retains its original ebonised finish. On the back of the clock is a bracket to attach the clock to the wall.
The movement has been restored and serviced and is now in good mechanical order, ensuring this clock is reliable and keeps good time. The pendulum, which is attached to the mechanism by accessing the clock from the door below, can be adjusted in length to allow you to regulate the clock speed. The 13.5-inch station wall clock comes with a key, which is used to wind the mechanism through the centre of the face dial.
This 13.5-inch station wall clock face retains the original ivory colour dial with black Roman numeral numbering and an elegant shaped hour and minute hand. A hinged solid brass bezel houses the glass face that protects the tin dial and face whilst in operation. The brass bezel opens on a right-hand hinge to allow you to adjust or set the time. There is a catch to the back of the clock that locks the brass bezel in place and stops it from accidentally swinging open.
Condition Report:
The painted tin dial is in original condition, therefore exhibiting wear and old use marks. The mahogany case is in lovely condition having been wax polished, whilst retaining its original ebonised finish. The brass-hinged bezel is in good working order, with some play to the hinge. The bezel-locking latch is present and working and prevents the bezel from opening. The mechanism is original; it has been cleaned and serviced and is in good working order, keeping good time.
