12" Cast Iron Smiths Wall Clock

£950.00

Beautiful example of a cast iron factory wall clock made in England by Smiths. c.1930

Lesser seen than the iconic cast Gents of Leicester clock - made from a single piece of cast iron with debossed numerals and chapters. The whole had developed a wonderful green patina and has been converted to a high torque Quartz movement for modern convenience.

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.
