Description

William Watkins was born in January 1826 and became a clockmaker in the town of Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales. This fine clock with a wonderful 12" convex dial and original blued steel hands has a substantial fusee movement in quite a unique shape. The Mahogany case is well preserved and has two side doors and the lower convex door held with a lock and key. The cast brass bezel is the original and held with a latch. The photos really don't quite get across how attractive this wall clock is. If you can pop in to our shop and see this in real life ...we don't think you'll be walking out empty handed!

FAQs

Convex dial wall clocks gained popularity during the late 18th and 19th centuries, often used in public spaces, offices, and railway stations for improved legibility from multiple angles.

These clocks typically feature a turned timber framefrequently mahogany, oak, or rosewoodhousing a painted convex metal or wooden dial protected by a brass bezel and glass cover.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-painted numerals, traditional fusee or pendulum movements, minor age-related patination on the timber, and hand-beaten brass components rather than modern cast metals.

Mount the clock as a focal point on a plain painted wall in a hallway or kitchen, allowing its traditional craftsmanship to contrast cleanly against minimalist modern surroundings.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to protect the wooden case and painted dial. Professional mechanical servicing every few years ensures longevity.
