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

Introducing my third clock in the "Inspired By Music" collection, which has been inspired by the Gibson 335 electric Guitar, although with this one you get to choose the finish so that your clock is completely custom to you.  This particular clock is the first of my designs that incorporates the use of different materials to enhance the character of the clock and give that feel of a real guitar, features include the high gloss acrylic scratch plate, chrome finished pickups, bridge, control knobs and not to forget the real guitar strings. The clock uses real wood veneers to offer that feel and warmth that is only achievable with hand finished real wood.  The oak marquetry frets and dots are set in along the fretboard again to give that real guitar feel.  The guitar headstock again uses a combination of materials to create all the details that you would find in a real headstock. This Gibson 335 inspired clock creates an eye catching piece of art that is both unique and fascinating to watch.

The clock is weight driven with time keeping regulated by a swinging pendulum as per traditional clocks first invented in the mid 1600’s.  

Made using only the highest quality materials specially selected for their reliability and stability.

Where Is Your Clock Going To Be Installed?

It's worth considering where your clock is going to be installed, below is a quick summary of the key considerations, please check my “Where To Install Your Clock” page for full details click here.

  • Install on a smooth flat wall that is vertical (check with a spirit level).
  • Consider avoiding busy areas where the clock could be easily knocked for example near a busy doorway.
  • Consider pets and how they will react to the swinging pendulum.
  • Do not install in direct sunlight.
  • Do not install where there are large fluctuations in temperature and humidity for example a conservatory.
  • Do not install above a heat source for example over a radiator.
  • Do not install in the air flow of a fan or air conditioner unit.
  • Consider the location of electrical switches, sockets and wall lights and the possibility of cables being buried in the wall.

 

What Happens Once My Order is Placed?

Order Confirmation - Once you place an order you will receive an automated order confirmation email, I will also send you another message regarding your material options and free engraving, if you selected this option.

Building Your Clock - Your clock is made to order and requires around three weeks to cut, hand finish, assemble and thoroughly test. 

Shipping -  When testing begins I will contact you to arrange delivery at a convenient time.

 

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.

 

I hope you found this page interesting and informative, however if you have any questions or comments about the page or any aspect of the site or clocks, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Thanks again Darren
