1970s Metamec sunburst wall clock, Model 5629 — silver face, baton markers, Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9. Professionally restored, new quartz movement. 60 cm (23½ inches) diameter. Fully working, ready to hang.

The most sought-after 5629 variant

The Metamec 5629 was produced in several dial and finish combinations. Collectors consistently identify the silver face with baton markers and Arabic numerals as the most sought-after version — preferred over Roman numeral dials and brass-finish equivalents for its cleaner, more modernist character. The cool silver tone of the dial sits in perfect contrast to the radiating spokes, giving this particular variant a crispness and graphic confidence that the warmer gold and brass dials cannot match. If you are looking for the definitive Metamec 5629, this is it.

The clock

The dramatic sunburst frame with its elegant radiating spokes creates the bold atomic starburst silhouette that defined the most aspirational mid century modern interiors of the 1960s and 1970s. At 60 cm (23½ inches) diameter it is a genuinely commanding piece — large enough to anchor any living room, hallway, or open-plan space, the kind of clock that visitors notice immediately.

The silver baton dial with Arabic numerals at the quarter hours only — 12, 3, 6, and 9 — is a masterclass in 1970s restraint. Less is more: the clean face lets the starburst frame do its work without competing with it, and the result is a clock as relevant to a contemporary interior today as it was to the homes it was designed for fifty years ago.

Metamec went into receivership in 1984, ending British clock production at their Dereham, Norfolk factory. The 5629 silver face is among the most collectible survivors from that era — professionally restored and ready for another fifty years on the wall.
