Description from the seller
Metamec Wall Clock in Baby-Blue/Metallic– Mid 1950s
In Excellent Working Condition – No Reserve
A striking mid-1950s electric wall clock by Metamec, England, featuring a 1960s chromed and baby blue dial with raised numerals and a chrome bezel. The clock has its original domed thick glass front, giving it a crisp and elegant appearance compared to later acrylic versions.
The design is characterised by strong Space Age influences: bold colour, sculptural hands and three-dimensional numerals that create a vibrant decorative presence. A high-end quality vintage piece that works beautifully in retro, mid-century or modern interiors.
The original Metamec 230V synchronous motor is fitted at the back, complete with the original power cord and bakelite two-pin plug. The clock is in excellent (silent and smooth) working condition.
Dimensions: Ø 20,5 cm
Materials: Glass front, plastic dial, brass bezel
Period: Mid 1950s
Origin: England
Condition: Excellent condition. Fully functional.
Fully functional, but as with all vintage electrical items, a safety check by a qualified professional is recommended before use.
