Newgate Underground Station clock

Underground station clock
Newgate are well-known for their vintage-inspired clocks. There's no prize for guessing where the idea for their new Underground Station clock comes from.

Increasingly a rarer sight in stations, this clock replicates some of the old tube platform clocks. It's got bold black hands and markers, with red 24-hour numerals around the clock face and even reads 'Tube Station clock' along its bottom rim. It's been artfully distressed to give it a vintage look too. 

No need to search one out in salvage yards, this one comes ready made and aged for £55.

Vitra’s George Nelson Natural Sunburst Clock now available in oak

Sunburst

It's a midcentury classic – and now the George Nelson Natural Sunburst Clock has been reissued by Vitra in oak.

It's a shape that screams the midcentury era, this particular example being produced as far back as 1949, but more commonly associated with the 1950s. This reissue is true to the original, with those shooting arms and white contrast face. Only this time, those arms are in oak to keep things lighter.

Sized around 470mm, you can pick one up for £208.

eBay watch: 1970s Krups wall clock

Krups

A great, eye-catching design – and this Krups wall clock is still modestly priced, despite some initial interest.

The clock is from the 1970s, with the colour of the plastic described as 'forest green', with a black circular face, a perspex screen and hands on white plastic, with red plastic for the seconds. It also has the original Krups label.

Condition is described as 'very good' and crucially, it's down as being in full working order. £17 is the current price, which seems very reasonable.

Karlsson Dizzy Wall Clock

Karlsson_dizzy 
How the Dizzy Wall Clock by Karlsson got its name hardly needs explaining, as anything more than a quick glimpse at the steel clock face is enough to make you giddy.

Whilst the circular pattern in the steel and white clock hands do not make this the easiest for reading the time from, it does create a pleasingly psychedelic effect.

The clock measures 30cm in diameter and costs £60 from Dot Maison.
