Early Gents Cast Iron Clock
Incredible large cast iron factory clock manufactured by renowned electrical company Gents of Leicester. c.1920
Adorning the Pul-syn-etic branding from Gents of Leicester, this clock has been stripped of years of over-painting to reveal the cast iron beneath. The face shows decades of wear with the paint starting to crack and craze. The original iconic spaded hands run on a 240v electric movement, which has been rewired and thoroughly tested for timekeeping.

About the maker
Gents of Leicester was formed in 1872 by John Thomas Gent and later registered as Gent & Co. In 1903 they produced an electric clock system labelled as the 'Pul-syn-etic' - a master and slave series of clocks that would go on to revolutionise the workplace and public spaces alike. Gents' electric clocks can still be found in public buildings, railway stations and factories all over the world to this day - a testament to their superior design, build and quality. In the field of electric clocks, Gents products were routinely specified by architects for their simple style, quality, reliability and foolproof installation in any situation.
