Fusee Dial B.r (S) Railway Wall Clock, John Walker, Superb

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

For your consideration I am delighted to offer this lovely example of a John Walker eight day fusee wall clock originally supplied to London & South Western railways in 1909.

The wire-driven movement has rectangular plates with an anchor escapement and has been fully overhauled so benefits from my three year guarantee.

The eight inch dial is in lovely condition and has been fully and tastefully restored with 'John Walker, 1 South Molton Street, B. R (S), London 9049 S.W' applied. The rear of the dial has all the usual annotations you would demand from an authentic piece of railwayana and the clock retains its original cast brass bezel and spade hands. The bezel locks securely into a tab.

The mahogany case surround has fantastic colour and patination since its restoration. The circular surround is pegged to the back box in the usual classic manner. This back box is not original and has a lower door to the case with a turnkey lock.

Southern railway records has the following information regarding this clock - a John Walker 8" dial supplied in June 1909 to L.S.W.R at a cost of £2 0s 0d. It was located at East Putney booking office and the annual maintenance charge was 3/6d. There are many notations during the 1950's of maintenance taking place on this piece.

John Walker were manufacturers of clocks and are best known for supplying timepieces to the principal railway companies of the day. They supplied clocks and watches and also arranged maintenance contracts. John Walker started in business in 1845 and the company was still in existence as late as 1980. Their main location was 1 South Molton Street and their clocks are increasingly sought after.

This is a very rare clock in gorgeous condition and it’s one of many fusee and railway clocks I have coming onto the market.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.

A fusee dial clock utilises a cone-shaped pulley and chain mechanism designed to equalise the power delivered by the mainspring as it unwinds. Popularised during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Britain, these wall clocks became standard timekeeping instruments for offices, public buildings, and railway networks.

These timepieces typically feature turned solid mahogany or oak cases housing a heavy brass fusee movement. Dials were commonly crafted from painted sheet iron with hand-lettered numerals, protected by a cast brass bezel and glass lens.

Authentic railway timepieces often display official ownership markings printed or stamped on the dial or movement, such as regional abbreviations like B.R.(S) or L.N.E.R. Additional signs include inventory serial numbers, maker details from recognised clockmakers, and authentic hand-built fusee movements within solid wooden surrounds.

A circular wooden dial clock serves as a strong focal point when mounted on a feature wall in a hallway, home office, or dining space. Its clean graphic face and rich wood tones pair well with dark academia aesthetics, industrial loft spaces, or traditional English country decor.

The mechanical movement requires regular winding using the appropriate key and professional servicing every three to five years. The wooden case should be kept away from direct heat sources and wiped with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals on the painted dial.
