About Metamec

Metamec was founded around 1941 in Dereham, Norfolk, as an offshoot of furniture makers Jentique — the name itself derived from "metal-work and mechanics." By the 1960s and 70s Metamec had grown into the largest clock manufacturer in the UK, employing around 750 people and producing some 25,000 clocks a week across 350 different models. Today, original Metamec pieces are highly sought after by mid-century collectors.

Classic 1970s design, precisely dated

This model dates exactly to 1977 — a square faux teak case paired with a polished brass bezel and a gently domed convex glass front, finished with bold white Roman numerals on a warm woodgrain dial. The clock has been fitted with a new German UTS quartz movement, with the original hands retained, so the look stays completely true to the piece. The plastic case has been re-polished to bring back its finish, with just two tiny imperfections to the case, visible in the photos. Signed "Metamec, Made in England" on the dial.

At under 20cm square, it's a lovely compact size for a kitchen, hallway, or study wall — genuinely useful as well as decorative.
