At 9 inches in diameter this is a substantial piece with genuine presence on the wall, and the deep convex new glass gives the dial a rich, jewel-like quality that rewards close inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial carries the Metamec and Quartz designations at centre, with the Made in England mark confirming its Dereham, Norfolk provenance. Gold hour and minute hands pair naturally with the warm bronze dial, while the black seconds hand provides a clean contrast. The clock has been fitted with a new quartz movement, new glass and matched replacement hands — a comprehensive restoration that leaves it ready to hang and use straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetamec — British Clock Making Heritage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetamec were based in Dereham, Norfolk, and began production in 1947. At their peak they were the largest clock manufacturer in the United Kingdom, employing around 750 people and producing 350 models at a rate of 25,000 clocks per week. This Roman numeral brass bezel example dates from the 1960s — the decade when Metamec's designs were at their most assured and their quality at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetamec, Dereham, Norfolk — Made in England\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCirca 1960s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBronze Dial, Roman numerals, Metamec Quartz inscription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBezel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass — very good condition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew convex glass fitted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold hour and minute, black seconds — matched to originals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew battery quartz — working\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 inches \/ 23cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMid-century modern, British vintage, classic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition with light wear consistent with a genuine piece of this age that does not detract from the overall appearance.
