1960s Metamec Wall Clock Blue Silver Bakelite Kitchen Clock Quartz 7 Inch
A charming 1960s Metamec wall clock in a striking blue and silver two-tone dial, set in the original cream bakelite case with a chrome bezel. Fully restored and converted to a modern quartz movement, with hands matching the originals — a lovely piece of British mid-century design ready to hang.
Classic Metamec styling
Metamec of Dereham, Norfolk, was one of Britain's most prolific clockmakers through the mid-20th century, known for bold two-tone dials and durable bakelite cases. This Model 3857 pairs a soft blue outer band with a silver centre disc — a cooler, more understated colourway than the brand's brighter reds, making it a versatile addition to a kitchen, hallway, or study.
Fully restored
The original cream bakelite case has been cleaned and presents beautifully, with the chrome bezel intact. The clock has been converted from its original mains-powered mechanism to a reliable quartz movement, with hands matching the originals and fitted to the new mechanism — keeping the clock's authentic character while ensuring accurate, low-maintenance timekeeping.
7 inches in diameter, in excellent vintage condition and ready to hang.
