CONDITON: | This is a beautiful and classic Victorian school wall clock that is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition. There is a rich colour to the wooden case. The dial is clean and bright with only minor marks and surface scratches. The chapters and signature were rubbed and faded and these have been restored back to the original design. The movement has been fully cleaned and overhauled and is keeping good time. These clocks were commonly found in schools, railway stations, and other public buildings during the Victorian period. This Victorian school clock is a fine example of craftsmanship from the era, blending substantial engineered clockmaking with refined Victorian aesthetic appeal. It would have been a centre piece in any room and continues to be sought after by collectors today. |

A Wonderful London Wall Clock
What our customers say
I have used The Clock Clinic previously before moving away from the area. I required a replacement clock face for a family heirloom and initially sought help from a shop in Surrey which turned out to be extremely unhelpful, dismissive and rude. I called the Clock Clinic, and Elly could not have been more helpful! Elly spent time researching our problem, found another solution which was spot on for us, but did not result in a "sale" for them. Real "above and beyond" service, absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend.
Highly professional and courteous service from the Clock Clinic. Serviced one Baume & Mercier watch in a timely manner, replacing a used strap with a good-looking replacement. Repaired another (when others couldn't) and got it working without any attempt to "up-sell" services. Much appreciated, I would recommend Alastair, Hilary and the team.
Best watch experts in London. I took my Emporio Armani watch to get the screen repaired to multiple watch shops and they were unable to have it fixed. I even sent it back to the manufacturer and they were unable to repair it. I brought it into the Clock Clinic and they were able to repair the watch in a timely manner for a great price. Friendly and expert service. I recommend this place to anyone. Thanks team!
