Newgate clock has time on its side
If such a thing as a timeless clock is possible the Newgate has to be it. Harking back to the halcyon days of steam trains and neatly tended train stations, these magnificent clocks, adorned with striking roman numerals, are easy to read and come complete with heady nostalgia.
While the 1950s Electric Clock is ‘wonderfully iconic’, there is joy to be found in Newgate’s less well-known replicas, such as the Cavendish Mirror Clock. “Although extremely rare, these clocks were found in stores as advertising mirror clocks in the 1920’s, but alas few originals remain,” says the company. “Our vintage replica has the same gorgeous look and feel, so look no further.”
Then there’s the eye-catching Postmaster Architectural Wall Clock, featuring photographs of vintage door numbers printed on posterboard squares which mount individually on the wall.
