Our return edge style interior and exterior clocks can be manufactured to enable quick and easy installation onto a wall indoors or outdoors using the brackets on the side of the clock. The depth of the clock means that it is simply surface mounted and the mechanism hidden behind the dial, with no need for a recess behind or a long shaft through the wall.
We offer return edge clock dials in our standard sizes from 300mm up to 915mm.
Alternatively we can take a blank return edge clock dial and sign write it with Arabic numerals, simple chapters, rectangles, circles or any other bespoke design required.
If a protective cover glass or back illumination of the clock dial is required the clock will need to be housed in one of our bezel housings instead of having a return edge.
