FAQs

Keep the clock out of direct sunlight and away from damp environments. Clean metal casings gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.

This type of horological piece fits well on a home office desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, adding a touch of industrial or mid-century character to the space.

Authentic pieces generally feature traditional maker signatures on the dial, such as Smiths or Made in GB, along with heavy metal construction and period-correct font styling on the numerals.

These clocks typically feature chromed or plated metal casings shaped into geometric forms, housing mechanical or early electric movements behind a glass face.

Smiths Industries produced a range of novelty and themed clocks during the mid-20th century, often drawing inspiration from British motoring culture and aviation to appeal to enthusiasts.
