HUGE 30" Gents of Leicester Railway Clock

£0.00
Out of Stock

Huge and imposing black railway clock made in England by Gents of Leicester. c.1930

Salvaged from Manchester Victoria Station, this clock has survived in great original condition, the black steel casing waxed to preserve the patina built up over the years. Gents' iconic hands run on the original slave movement which now has benefit of a modern battery operated impulse driver giving that synonomous mechanical 'clunk' every 30 seconds.

About the maker
Gents of Leicester was formed in 1872 by John Thomas Gent and later registered as Gent & Co. In 1903 they produced an electric clock system labelled as the 'Pul-syn-etic' - a master and slave series of clocks that would go on to revolutionise the workplace and public spaces alike. Gents' electric clocks can still be found in public buildings, railway stations and factories all over the world to this day - a testament to their superior design, build and quality. In the field of electric clocks, Gents products were routinely specified by architects for their simple style, quality, reliability and foolproof installation in any situation.
