Westclox Starburst Wall Clock – 1970s Dark Green Pierced Brass Champagne Dial 12 Inch
A striking and characterful Westclox wall clock from the 1970s — one of the most visually arresting designs the Scottish manufacturer produced during the mid-century era. A deep forest green circular frame is encircled by row upon row of pierced brass blade-shaped details, radiating outward in a bold starburst composition that is unmistakably of its moment. The champagne gold dial sits within a brass-toned bezel, its clean face a warm contrast to the richness of the surrounding frame.
Fitted with a new quartz movement. Please note this clock produces an audible tick — a quality that many buyers find adds to its authentic vintage character. 12 inches (30.5cm) diameter. Ready to hang.
Westclox — Made in Scotland, Built to Last
Westclox began in the United States in 1885 and became one of the most trusted clock names in the English-speaking world. Their Scottish manufacturing operation, based in Dumbarton, produced some of the brand's finest mid-century decorative wall clocks — pieces that combined solid build quality with the bold graphic confidence of the atomic age. A 1970s Westclox is a genuine piece of British and American design heritage, made at a moment when domestic interiors were anything but ordinary.
This starburst design sits at the decorative peak of Westclox's 1970s range. The combination of deep racing green lacquer and the dense pattern of pierced brass blades creates a clock that works as a piece of wall sculpture as much as a timepiece — bold enough to anchor a room, detailed enough to reward a closer look.
