Metamec Chesterfield Wall Clock – Vintage Pine Wood Brass Bezel Arabic Numeral Quartz 7½ Inch

A warm and unpretentious vintage Metamec wall clock from the Chesterfield range — a well-made and thoroughly likeable piece that brings a touch of traditional charm to any wall it occupies.

The light pine case is turned with a generous rounded profile, its natural grain giving the clock a warmth and friendliness that the more austere metal models cannot match. The brass-tone bezel frames a clean cream dial bearing the "Chesterfield" script in a classic cursive typeface, with bold black Arabic numerals, fine minute markers and slim black hands. The "Metamec Quartz" signature on the dial confirms its provenance. The convex glass lens adds a pleasing sense of depth to the face.

At 19cm (7½ inches) in diameter this is a neatly scaled piece — ideal for a kitchen, hallway, bedroom or study where something warm and traditional is called for without demanding too much wall space. Quartz battery movement, fully working. Ready to hang.

Metamec — The Pride of Dereham, Norfolk

Metamec were one of Britain's most respected clock manufacturers, founded in Dereham, Norfolk in 1947 and producing clocks for British homes for nearly four decades. The Chesterfield range represented Metamec's more traditional domestic offering — warm wood cases, classic dials and understated styling designed to complement the British home rather than make a statement in it. Made in England to Metamec's reliable standard of quality.

These clocks have aged gracefully and are increasingly sought after by buyers who appreciate honest, well-made British domestic design from a manufacturer that no longer exists. A Metamec Chesterfield is exactly what it appears to be — a simple, good clock that does its job beautifully.
