Description
A vintage Smiths Timecal mechanical kitchen wall clock with an integrated 60-minute ringer timer, made in Great Britain. The clock is set within a rectangular metal case featuring a white front face and a central orange rectangular field. The lower section is decorated with stylised fan or petal-shaped graphic motifs in black, olive green, and orange. The outer edge is finished with a brass-effect metal rim.
The clock dial consists of a round white chapter ring with black Arabic numerals and a minute track, encircling an olive green centre marked Smiths Timecal. The hands are painted white, and a winding arbor is visible below the centre. The integrated timer at the bottom features an orange dial with white numerals and an orange plastic pointer knob.
The reverse is finished in reddish-brown paint and shows two distinct housings: a cream-coloured plastic unit for the clock movement, including a regulation lever, and a lower metal housing for the mechanical timer bell.
Height: 25.5 cm (10 inches)
Width: 20.5 cm (8 inches).
Condition report:
In vintage used condition. The front remains bright, though the metal rim shows minor age-related wear.
