Description

A beautiful example of these rare and sought after classic clocks with such a close affinity to the history of our Country.

The plain and unadorned oak case is indicative of the pure practical purpose for which such clocks were made. It retains it's original finish and has simply been cleaned and waxed in order to retain it's original provenance. It has a side opening door and full door to the rear. It stands on 4 bun feet.

The 8" (20cm) convex silvered dial has black, engraved Roman numerals and the RAF logo to the top centre. It is in lovely clean and well maintained condition.

It is surmounted by a spring loaded, cast brass bezel with a convex glass.

The 8 day, chain driven fusee movement has just been fully overhauled by our BHI registered horologist (9th generation) and carries our usual 12mths full parts and labour guarantee.

Made by the World famous F. ELLIOT & Co of LONDON it is clearly identified on the back plate of the movement:

SERIAL No. 10058. 1939.

Elliots are renowned for making clocks for Municipals, Police, Military, Etc.

Military mess clocks were standard issue timepieces used in officers and sergeants messes across various barracks and stations, often bearing specific service insignias and designed for durability and punctuality.

These clocks typically feature solid timber cases such as oak or mahogany, housing mechanical spring-driven movements protected by brass bezels, glass faces, and heavy back doors.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-correct mechanical movements, genuine service engravings or enamel dials with official insignia, and natural age-related patina on the wood and brass components.

Placing the clock on a wooden mantelpiece, study bookshelf, or side table introduces a focal point with historical character that complements both traditional and industrial interior schemes.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and fluctuating heat sources, clean the timber case with a dry microfibre cloth, and have the mechanical movement serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
