Champagne dial with Roman numerals, dark brown and gold radiating spokes, red seconds hand. New quartz movement, fully working. 37 cm (14½ inches) diameter. Ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMade in Scotland — the Dumbarton factory\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWestclox operated one of Britain's most remarkable clock factories at Dumbarton in the Vale of Leven, Scotland — under the General Time Corporation umbrella alongside Seth Thomas. The Dumbarton factory opened in 1948 and at its peak employed 1,100 people, producing 10,000 clocks a week and exporting to over 110 countries. It received a royal visit from Queen Elizabeth II in 1971, and in 1974 hosted a space seminar featuring astronaut Neil Armstrong and astronomer Sir Patrick Moore. The factory closed in 1988, bringing four decades of Scottish clockmaking to an end. A sunburst from this factory is a genuine piece of that history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe clock\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bold atomic starburst silhouette — dark brown spokes with gold accents radiating outward from a warm champagne dial — captures the confident design language of mid-century modern British interiors at its most assured. The Roman numeral chapter ring, classic black hands, and contrasting red seconds hand complete a palette that is warmly retro without being garish. At 37 cm (14½ inches) diameter it is a substantial and commanding piece, large enough to anchor a living room, kitchen, or hallway wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quartzmatic name denotes Westclox's quartz-era production — a new movement has been fitted for reliable, silent, battery-powered timekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWestclox — Dumbarton, Scotland — Made in Scotland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMid 20th century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSunburst \/ starburst — dark brown spokes with gold accents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChampagne — Roman numerals, red seconds hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37 cm (14½ inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew quartz — fully working\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, atomic age, retro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition with light age-related wear consistent with its years — present throughout but not detracting from the clock's overall decorative impact.
