FAQs
Does this clock come with a glass cover?
No, this model features an open-faced design true to the original Smiths heritage style.
What type of battery does it use?
The clock utilizes standard batteries common for wall clocks; please refer to the markings on the German movement for specific voltage requirements.
Can this clock be used outdoors?
This clock is designed for interior use. Exposure to moisture and temperature fluctuations outdoors may damage the mechanism and dial.
Is the brass material real brass?
The clock features brass-style hands crafted to reflect the classic aesthetic of original Smiths designs.
How heavy is the clock?
While lightweight for its size, it is recommended to use a heavy-duty wall anchor to support the 50cm diameter securely.
Troubleshooting
Clock hands are not moving
Check that the battery is inserted correctly and try replacing it with a fresh, high-quality alkaline battery.
Time is drifting or inaccurate
Ensure the brass hands are not bent or rubbing against each other or the clock face. Gently adjust them if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your clock, insert the appropriate battery into the rear mechanism and adjust the time using the dial on the back of the movement. Due to the 50cm size, ensure you use a sturdy wall hook or screw anchored properly into a stud or wall plug. For care, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners on the brass hands or the clock dial; a gentle dusting with a dry, microfiber cloth is the best way to maintain the finish. Keep the clock away from direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the vibrant red dial over extended periods.
