We thought this recent auction buy was well worth a mention.

It’s a fabulous looking vintage clock with brushed steel face and red detailing – the 12 & 24 hour markings add further interest. It’s perfect for the study or kitchen.

Dating from the 1960s/70s, it was made by American company Westclox. They produced some lovely stuff during this period including colourful alarm clocks, mid century modern ‘starbursts’ and industrial look office clocks like this one.
