Huge 30" Black Gents of Leicester Factory Wall Clock

£1,550.00

An XXL and imposing vintage industrial clock made in England by renowned clock makers - Gents of Leicester. c.1940

Sympathetically restored outer casing now reverted back to its former black finish after being overpainted in silver and neglected for decades. Otherwise, completely original including the tapered hands and slave movement which now has the benefit of a modern mains operated impulse driver giving that synonymous mechanical 'clunk' every 60 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.
