Smiths Wall Clock Sectric Electric, red second hand.
Available in a dark brown, red or cream metal case with a clever sweeping second hand - this is a modern quartz replica with a distinguished history.
Smith's started as a family firm in 1851 and grew to dominate the clock market in Britain for the next 100 years.
By 1926, the firm was making 100,000 car clocks a year for famous names such as Rolls Royce & Lagonda.
In 1937, Coronation year, 5,000 people worked at the Cricklewood factory in London.
A Smith's clock was to be found in almost every British household up to the 1950s.
The Art Deco movement profoundly influenced Smith's designs. Chrome and Bakelite were widely used and these designs are very popular today.
