Metamec Wall Clock in White/Black – Mid 1960s
In Excellent/ Near mint Condition – No Reserve
A striking mid-1960s electric wall clock by Metamec, England, featuring a 1960s white dial with raised black numerals and a chrome-plated metal bezel.
The clock has its original curved 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 electric clock motor (typically noisy and unreliable after many decades) has been professionally replaced with a modern quartz battery movement, discreetly mounted at the back. This upgrade provides silent, smooth, and dependable operation, while the front view remains completely original — offering the best of both worlds: historic appearance with modern reliability.
Dimensions: Ø 22,5cm
Materials: Glass front, plastic dial, chrome-plated metal bezel
Period: Mid 1960s
Origin: England
