Midcentury Smith’s Sectric electric wall clock, with new wiring and plug
A superb 1950s Smith’s Sectric electric wall clock, fully functional.
A black Bakelite round clock face with the most fantastic minimal font making the black numerals on a simple off-white face, with some light spotting around the edges.
This ~70 year old clock has been rewired with a new two core mustard yellow fabric flex to contrast the case.
The clock runs silently so won’t disrupt you even in a study or bedroom.
A new black 3 pin UK plug has been fitted with a brand new 1 amp fuse, which is the rating recommended for a low power item such as a clock. This means the clock will be safe even in an electrical surge.
The fabric cable is a generous 2 metres long to reach all the way to the floor even if placed high, then to the nearest plug socket or extension lead. Please note, when photos were taken for this listing the clock had not yet hung so the cable will straighten with time.
This Smith’s Sectric is a ‘Delhi Minor’ model, which can be feintly seen stamped to the reverse.
It has an integral hook plate to the reverse for hanging.
The only adjustable part is the rod which protrudes from the base of the clock. The plastic ribbed knob is pushed in/up and turned to move the hands to set the correct time. After first plugging the clock in, you need to move the hands with this rotating knob before the hands will move.
This fantastic looking, iconic midcentury classic English made clock would’ve been seen in schools, businesses and the home throughout the land in the 1950s and 60s.
This clock measures 20.5cm in diameter at the back, 18cm to the front and is 6cm deep. The red braided cable is just under 2 metres long.
