Vintage Orange Smiths Timecal Dulcet Pull Cord Wind Wall Clock

Jon Nix — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 14:20:41 +0000

Very orange, very curvaceous, very unusual and very vintage... this Smiths Timecal "Dulcet" wall clock is also notable for its pull cord mechanism for winding the clock spring. The plastic case and bezel is a rich orange colour with sweeping rounded corners and deep side so it literally and metaphorically stands out. The plain black clockface with white hands and numerals result in a stylish contrast.

In full working order with some minor signs of age and use. There are a few minor and superficial scratches to the outer casing on the clear clock cover plastics, but no chips or cracks to the casing overall. The front orange "bezel" section of plastic has aged slightly in comparison to the rear, but this is not very noticeable in use.

Dimensions are approximately 19cm (7½ in.) "square" with a depth of 5cm (2 in.)

This Smiths Timecal 5-hour Timer with a white hard plastic outer casing and olive green coloured face behind clear plastic is not only a fine vintage display piece but also fully functional for the kitchen. The has minimal signs of wear and tear - the face is clean and clear and there are no chips, cracks or major scratches anywhere on it.

The timer operates via a dial which, when turned clockwise, increases the time in minutes, with hours added via a complete rotation of the dial. The number of hours chosen is shown in a small window near the top of the face (at 12 o'clock, if you will), and the dial can be set up to a maximum of five hours.

The timer is sold without its original box.
