Smiths Sectronic Wooden Mantel Clock – 1970s – Vintage – Rare

A vintage Smiths wood and aluminium mantel clock from the early 1970s.

A very rare, elegant, modern clock in almost unmarked condition.

This is the Smiths ‘Rhombus’ model, from the time when Smiths produced very stylish clocks rather than the more traditional clocks they are known for, these modernist clocks are very hard to come by.

I don’t like to use the word rare, but this is only the second of these I have seen in the last two years.

Wooden surround with aluminium foot and aluminium trim top and bottom. the aluminium is

free of pitting.

In lovely condition the glass unmarked the wood and aluminium free of any scratches.

This was fitted with a mains movement which I have replaced with a new, very quiet, German made quartz movement, this makes it much more usable with no cables trailing down the wall, It keeps perfect time. It will run for well over 12 months with one AA battery.

The original hands have been modified to suit the new movement, including the second hand, it is a little time consuming, but worth the effort, there is nothing worse than a clock with hands that do not match the original design of the clock.

150mm wide x 200mm high x 60mm deep ( 6″ x 8″ x 1 1/2″)

The clocks I sell are all vintage and some will have some age related wear. I will try to bring attention to any flaws in this description.
