Zenith Solid Oak 18 Day Centre Wind Bowed Dial Wall Timepiece. circa 1930's.

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: M. C. Taylor

This is an ''untouched'' and totally original example of what has become an iconic wall clock.
 
The 18 day duration, centre wound Swiss movement with a jewelled lever escapement and individually driven motion work. The circular movement is fitted within the hollowed-out case back and has a rear metal plate denoting the make, duration and regulation lever.
 
Contained in a one-piece solid oak case of excellent colour, figuring and patina with a deeply bowed front incorporating the dial. It has a well-moulded edge and applied brass Arabic hour numerals, minute dots and diamond hour points. It has shaped ''spade'' hands.
 
* These clocks were almost exclusively retailed by Healey but this example was retailed by Maples of London and carries their nameplate to the rear. I personally love these wall clocks.
 
Dimensions: 13 1/2'' high x 13 1/4'' wide x 2 1/2'' deep (the anomaly is due to age shrinkage)
 
Condition: This clock is in untouched but working condition and keeping to time...
