Vintage Smith’s Bezel Wind Car/Cockpit Clock

This style of clock was used in the 1920’s/30’s in the dash board of cars and sometimes in the cockpit of planes, it is wound from the front on the bezel and the time is changed by a pull out button at the bottom. Some bright spark realised that these clocks could be placed in bespoke cases and this one has been placed in a solid mahogany Edwardian case with inlaid decoration to the front. The clock was made by Smith’s of London and is marked accordingly on the front, it has P-151.359 either side of the hands. It winds and runs, I have had it running for a few hours and it has kept good time although a professional clean is recommended, the case and clock are both in very good order, it is a heavy piece which measures 11 inches across the front.
