The Model 897 sits within their teak and brass range from this era — a restrained, minimalist design that favoured clean lines and natural materials over ornamentation, and typifies the confident, understated style Metamec built its reputation on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is finished in a rich faux teak wood-effect, paired with slim brass baton markers around the hours and bolder triple-bar markers at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 — a quiet nod to more traditional numeral placement without the visual weight of full numerals. The original brass hands have been retained and matched to a new, silent UTS quartz movement with a smooth step-seconds hand, so the clock keeps its authentic look and sound-free running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet within a brass bezel, the whole piece has the restrained, furniture-like presence that made Metamec's teak designs so enduringly popular — equally at home in a hallway, study, or living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetamec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e897\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1970s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaux teak wood-effect\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBezel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal brass, hour and minute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarkers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass baton with triple-bar quarter markers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew UTS quartz movement, step-seconds hand, silent, fully working\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.5cm (8 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition throughout.
