This 1970s wall clock pairs a brushed silver and champagne two-tone dial with bold black Roman numerals, set behind flat glass in a clean cream case with a bright faux chrome bezel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMetamec: Britain's largest clockmaker\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetamec was based in East Dereham, Norfolk, and by the 1960s had grown into the largest clock manufacturer in Britain, producing around 25,000 clocks a week at its peak. The firm is best remembered today for its iconic sunburst designs, but its Roman numeral dials like this one were just as much a fixture of British homes through the 1960s and 70s. Metamec closed its doors in the 1990s, which makes surviving pieces in good condition genuinely collectable rather than just decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRestored and ready to hang\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example has been fitted with a new quartz movement and a silent sweeping second hand, with hands re-matched to the original style so nothing looks out of place. No ticking, no trailing cables — just wind it up on the wall and it keeps perfect time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.75 inches (22.2 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 inches (20.3 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 inches (6.4 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCream plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBezel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaux chrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver and champagne two-tone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumerals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoman\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew quartz, silent sweep second hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery good vintage condition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in England\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree tracked delivery across the UK.
