Handforth Green Factory Clock Roman Numerals

The Handforth Green Factory Clock with Roman Numerals is a faithful recreation of clocks that would have hung on factory walls across Britain in the early 20 th century. These classic Synchronome clocks would have been a common sight, with workers checking them for lunch and knocking off time. The handmade Handforth Green wall clocks, with brushed aluminium bezel, make a splendid green kitchen wall clock. Synchronome were one of the classic British clock manufacturers. Founded in 1895, they unfortunately ceased trading many years ago.
They supplied the BBC, The LondonUnderground, Cunard, Liberty's and The Times. But in 2021 Mark Hope-Jones the founder's great-great-great-nephew resurrected the classic British brand. These meticulously crafted recreations have the same all-metal construction and vintage industrial feel, but feature a stand-alone quartz movement.
Each Handforth Green Factory Clock with Roman Numerals is individually built to order by hand and as such is delivered from the brand themselves. Each green wall clock has its own distinguishing features, arising out of the artisanal nature of the components.
Size: diameter 18" depth 3" (approx.)
Case: steel, spun by hand
Bezel: brushed aluminium
Dial: metal, manually screen printed
Hands: metal, balanced for accuracy
Requires single AA (R6) battery, not included.
Made in Britain

Made in Hay-on-Wye

Meet the Maker: Synchronome Clocks

Established in 1895 by Frank Hope-Jones, Synchronome pioneered electric clock systems that became cornerstones of British industry and public life. From their bases in London's Clerkenwell, then Alperton and Wiltshire, Synchronome supplied precision timekeeping to the BBC, Selfridges, Harrods, Liberty, the London Underground, The Times, and ocean liners including Cunard's fleet. Frank Hope-Jones personally announced the first British Summer Time on BBC radio in 1923 and suggested the famous six 'pips' time signal. Today, relaunched by Mark Hope-Jones on the English-Welsh border at Hay-on-Wye, Synchronome creates handmade British wall clocks to order, recreating century-old all-metal traditional designs with modern quartz movements. Each clock features hand-spun steel cases, manually printed dials, hand-stamped serial numbers, and counterweighted hands, celebrating British precision engineering and industrial heritage in stunning contemporary colourways.
