Some interesting facts about Antique Dial Clocks

Dial clocks also recognised as School Clocks or Railway Clocks were popular in the UK from 1780 till 1940. Most had a brass Fusee Movement and most were timepieces and did not strike the hours.

Only very expensive twin Fusee examples used to chime the hours on a bell or Gong. Mostly housed in Oak or mahogany cases with white Dials showing a makers or later retailers name.

Many Dial clocks also had an extended bottom to their case with an inspection window that you could see the pendulum swinging behind. Known as drop Box or drop dial clocks.

Another very popular use for dial clocks was in railways stations and public offices all over the country. Dial clocks can have both 8 inch to 24 inch inch diameter Dials but the most common were 12 inch Dials.

Dial Clocks due to their simple and unfussed appearance suit many houses and buildings.

Dial clocks are pleasant to the eye and they are very reliable due to their superb build quality and robustness. We at The Chimes UK always recommend a Antique Dial clock to anyone if you're looking for a nice reliable Antique Clock that will suit the home with ease.
