Double Sided Gents Railway Clock
Huge double sided clock by renowned electrical company Gents of Leicester. c.1930
Almost certainly once part of a railway station, but later privately owned for many decades. In wonderful condition with original black factory paint, iconic spaded hands with the addition of the red 24 hour numerals. Unbranded face, but very much a clock typical with Gents of Leicester, including their superior build quality, hands and slave movements. Original movements now running perfectly on modern mains powered slave drivers.

About the maker
Gents of Leicester was formed in 1872 by John Thomas Gent and later registered as Gent & Co. In 1903 they produced an electric clock system labelled as the 'Pul-syn-etic' - a master and slave series of clocks that would go on to revolutionise the workplace and public spaces alike. Gents' electric clocks can still be found in public buildings, railway stations and factories all over the world to this day - a testament to their superior design, build and quality. In the field of electric clocks, Gents products were routinely specified by architects for their simple style, quality, reliability and foolproof installation in any situation.
