Early Industrial Cast Iron Gents of Leicester Factory Clock

£1,450.00

A large cast‑iron factory clock by the renowned electrical firm Gents of Leicester, c.1930.

A striking and substantial example, presented in wonderfully time‑worn condition with layers of old black over‑paint. The one‑piece cast‑iron case features raised numerals and retains all the presence expected of early industrial Gents clocks. The iconic arrowed hands now run on a high‑torque quartz movement for modern reliability while preserving the original aesthetic.

NOTE: all 3 fixing lugs should be used when securing to a wall.

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.
