Mid Century Clocks
At The Clock Clinic, we are delighted to have a stunning range of mid-century clocks within our collection. Standing out as icons of design, and not just timepieces, the mid-century clocks we have acquired reflect the innovation of a period that is fast approaching 100 years ago.
With bold shapes, clean lines, and an emphasis on style, these clocks transformed the way we view a timepiece and allowed homes and workplaces to add a touch of prestige, glamour, and individuality to spaces where it may have previously been lacking.
Why choose a mid-century clock?
A mid-century clock is more than just a clock. It’s a reflection of ingenuity, innovation, and inspiration. Today, all these years on, buyers range from keen collectors to lovers of contemporary décor.
It’s easy to see why. From the abstract shapes to the often vibrant colours, the mid-century clock speaks as much about the owner as the era it comes from.
Complementing minimalist and eclectic spaces, these clocks become a talking point in any room, with observers captivated by shapes, styles, colours, and more.
Mid-century clocks at The Clock Clinic
Our collection is always evolving. Whether it be a clock we inherit and restore to its best, or one we acquire from a loving home and can now showcase to the world, mid-century clocks within our inventory are lovingly cared for and ready to find their next home. From the simplistic to the complex, it is easy for enthusiasts or just those with a penchant for classic design to find a suitable mid-century clock for the home.
Mid-century clock design
You might notice a mid-century clock before you even know of its origin. The starburst or sunburst design is among the most popular in horology. These clocks not only harnessed incredible technology from the time, but they took elements of design a step further, too. The starburst or sunburst design would showcase radiating spokes made of brass or wood, paying tribute to the atomic age and its fascination with space and science.
Of course, other designs stand out, too. Many mid-century clocks embrace abstract design, focusing on squares, rectangles, or asymmetrical shapes. Others are purely minimalist, often featuring no numbers, slender hands, and simple circular faces.

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.
What a brilliant team. I arrived expecting to wait several weeks to have the team sort out my wall chiming clock - but they managed to resolve the problem whilst I waited. Such a lovely team, and will definitely use them for all my clock and watch servicing.
