Excellent!

What is particularly clever about your reproduction is the custom CAD and 3D printed housing.

Are you taking orders?

I would be interested, although I'd need to know a price to commit fully.

I will sit down and calculate the price over the next few days. I would estimate roughly 75€.

I decided I needed a one off smaller clock for my car so I had a go at a 52mm version.
It turned out quite well too. This clock is based on a 40x8mm round quartz movement and using a standard bezel and glass. The 3D printed housing is again designed to match the bezel, the glass and the movement. The dial was done on my inkjet printer with photo paper.

Another excellent creation, Declan.

I can't wait to see what you have for us tomorrow

I'll try to find some better pics. Mine was 'made' in the same way as yours but based on an original owned by Carlo P.

I posted the designs on here a while ago but found that someone had copied the designs and was freely selling them on the inetrnet. NOT COOL! The drawing work was done by Gryf Ketcherside in the US. Very generous bloke.

Rob,
Any chance you could take a few pics of the the rev counter and the other instruments.
Regards
Declan

I was wondering if either of you are still producing these dash clock replicas.. I’d really like to buy one for my MM.

Post by **Coosh67** » Mon Oct 25, 2021 11:14 pm

Obviously over a year ago now, but I’d be very interested in buying a clock if you fancy making another!

I have only seen this just now.
I will have to check but I think I have two or three.

I have two that are finished and one in the making. One is reserved. The potential buyer pointed out to me that there is an original on ebay going for nearly £500 !!

Hi,
I've just bought an MM and with it the seller included some spares.
Amongst said spares was an original glove box clock, however it is missing it's chrome outer ring, does anyone have a spare or can they suggest where I might source one of the correct diameter?
I will post up a separate post as well but I thought people interested in this post might be a good starting point for me, could a bezel from one of these battery versions fit or be adapted to?
Many thanks in advance for any help with this.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Hi
I have been working on making a quality reproduction of the Smiths optional clock for some years on and off. Unfortunately, the chrome trim ring is an odd size which nobody manufactures anymore. Pre-COVID there were a few suppliers of a suitable item that Declan Burns and I were using (as seen in Declan's photo above).
I have resorted to extensively modifying a currently available trim ring--that is only vaguely the right size and style--to make it suitable.
BTW, are you sure your clock is a real MM clock and not the variation that was used in the Morris Oxford and a few other models? They did not have a trim ring attached to the clock itself.

I believe it's correct but I'll take a picture and post it up on here in the next few days.....
Best wishes,
