E A Combs London Wall Clock – Gold Sunburst Bakelite, Hechinger German Movement, 1960s
A handsome and imposing vintage wall clock retailed by E. A. Combs of London — a name that graced quality British-market clocks of the 1960s and 1970s, sourced from the finest German manufacturers and sold through London's better clock and jewellery trade. This example is in remarkable near-mint condition, with a presence and weight that immediately sets it apart from lesser examples.
The brown Bakelite case is deep and substantial, weighing over 1kg — a properly built clock of genuine quality, not a lightweight pressed-metal piece. The gold-plated brass bezel frames a stunning gold sunburst dial with bold black Arabic numerals, a graduated dash minute track, and the E. A. Combs and London designations printed cleanly below 12. The movement is a Hechinger Quartz, W. Germany — one of the quality German quartz movements of the period, running on a single D cell battery and keeping excellent time.
