1500mm Bespoke bezel clock for new Trent Bridge Cricket Ground
1500mm Bespoke bezel clock for new Trent Bridge Cricket Ground
Maber Associates were engaged by the Trent Bridge Cricket Club to extend their Radcliffe Road stand vertically with new broadcasting facilities and a new restaurant. At the top of the stand they wanted to feature a large bezel clock and approached us to help design and manufacture the feature.
Based on our standard bullnose bezel clock they asked for a modern style dial with cricket bats featured at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions. The dial was manufactured in opal acrylic so that it could be illuminated with LED lighting and the numerals and cricket bats were laser cut in black acrylic with simple black baton hands to complete the clock.
To ensure the clock remained accurate at all times it was fitted with our Total Control System. This has a battery back up to keep the clock going through any power failures and will automatically change at the summer and winter time changes.

Goods Directions - Replica of a 1000mm Double sided drum clock
Replica of a 1000mm Double sided drum clock
We were approached by a company that had a large drum clock on one of their properties in need of refurbishment. Upon inspection it was decided with the client that it would be safer and more cost effective to manufacture an identical replacement.
The 1000mm flat sided drum clock had an ornamental projecting bracket and ornate scrolls above the dials. Clocks on both sides were skeleton dials with three gold leaf chapter rings and black spade hands. New electric mechanism were fitted and controlled by our clock resynchroniser to automatically restart the clocks after any power failures pre-programmed to alter the clocks at the summer and winter time changes for the next 20 years.
