Just a quick note - I'm very proud of my clocks, I love designing and making them and want my customers to feel equally proud of their purchase. 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. Thanks Darren
Clock Description
The Concorde pendulum wall clock is a magnificent work of art that exudes the timeless elegance and sophistication of the supersonic jet it's named after.
Its sleek and aerodynamic design captures the essence of the iconic aircraft.
The clock is weight driven with time keeping regulated by a swinging pendulum as per traditional clocks first invented in the mid 1600’s.
It's not just the clock's visual beauty that sets it apart; the rhythmic tick-tock of the pendulum creates a hypnotic melody that seems to capture the very essence of time itself.

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.
