It can be difficult to convey the quality of a product online, the feel of the wood, the sound of the ticking and so on. If you would like to see the clocks you are more than welcome to visit me at my home studio where I have several clocks on display. To arrange an appointment please contact me before visiting.

Clock Description
Introducing my second clock in the "Iconic Aircraft" collection, The MK-IX Spitfire. The Spitfire pendulum wall clock is a true masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. Its elegant and sophisticated design is a nod to the iconic British fighter plane which conquered the skies during World War II.
With its intricate mechanical workings, the clock exudes a sense of timeless grace and precision, as the pendulum swings gently back and forth, marking the passage of time with effortless ease.
The clock is weight driven with time keeping regulated by a swinging pendulum as per traditional clocks first invented in the mid 1600’s.
As the clock ticks away, it seems to capture the very essence of time itself, creating an aura of magic and mystery that is sure to captivate all who gaze upon it.
In short, the Spitfire pendulum wall clock is a true masterpiece of artistic expression and technical precision, evoking a sense of timeless elegance and sophistication.

Other Important Information
Material Variations - Please note that the clock is made using real wood veneers, a naturally occurring material which will vary in tone and grain pattern from piece to piece, therefore, although the same species is used, your clock will not exactly match those displayed in the images and product videos. Its also worth mentioning that the type of lighting can change the tone of the material, some lighting will make the wood appear darker whilst warm lighting as used in the videos can give a considerably different feel.
