1970s Metamec sunflower wall clock, Model 889 — a bold and decorative mid century modern wall clock with a brushed brass dial, Roman numeral chapter ring, and eight gold filigree petal panels. New quartz movement, fully working, ready to hang. 29 cm (11½ inches) diameter.

The design

The Model 889 is one of Metamec's most decorative designs — its eight black filigree petal panels radiate outward from the central brass dial in a bold sunflower silhouette that echoes the spirit of George Nelson's iconic mid-century Sunflower clock, brought to British homes in characteristically warm 1970s gold and black. Between each petal, a brass diamond detail topped with a chrome ball adds sculptural metallic contrast — a level of decorative ambition rarely seen in British mass-market clocks of the era.

The combination of brushed brass, black filigree, and chrome accents gives the clock a richly layered appearance that works beautifully in mid century modern, retro, eclectic, and maximalist interiors. It is the kind of piece that stops visitors in a room.
