Newgate clocks are British through and through. Housed in a former Laura Ashley factory in England, working on rescued 1940's-vintage desks and furniture, and headed by the husband-and-wife team of Jim and Chloe Read, the team of Newgate designers strives to, as they say, keep Great British Design alive. The clocks are vintage in inspiration, but filtered through a modern sensibility and are certainly not merely copies of old clocks. The design sense of Newgate has made their clocks a favorite in the worlds of fashion and celebrity.

Although it is retro-inspired, the clean modern dial and fresh faced look of the Electric clock is bang up to date with interior design of today. It measures 14.5" in diameter and is 4" deep, with a metal case and metal hands, a glass lens, and a quartz mechanism powered by a single AA battery (not includede).
