This is an authentic, highly collectible vintage Smiths Enfield mechanical marine bulkhead clock. Manufactured in England, this timepiece features a heavy, industrial-grade design modeled after classic ship portholes. It features a reliable 8-day mechanical movement and retains all of its key original hardware components, making it an excellent addition for nautical collectors or horology enthusiasts.
This authentic vintage Smiths Enfield mechanical marine bulkhead clock is an exceptional find for nautical collectors and horology enthusiasts alike. Proudly manufactured in England, this industrial-grade timepiece is housed in a heavy, stepped cylindrical solid brass casing modeled after a classic ship's porthole. The cream-colored dial face features crisp, bold black Roman numerals, traditional spade-style hands, and a dedicated winding arbor positioned above the 6 o'clock mark. Powered by a robust mechanical 8-day timekeeping movement, the face is cleanly marked with "SMITHS ENFIELD 1911", "8 DAYS", and "MADE IN ENGLAND". For easy installation, the wide, integrated rear mounting flange features four pre-drilled perimeter holes designed for flush, secure attachment to a wall or ship bulkhead.
The clock retains its key original design features, including a heavy brass front bezel hinged on the left that swings wide open for effortless time-setting and winding. It comes complete with its original, detachable brass threaded thumb bolt that screws into the side to lock the porthole tightly shut. Internally, the two-plate brass gear movement is nested inside a protective cream-colored dust capsule to shield the mechanism from moisture and debris, showcasing clean motion work gearing and a heavy steel mainspring at the base. A textured metal internal rear-backing plate is also included. Proving its authenticity, the solid brass reverse backplate features a permanent stamped circular maker's seal reading "SMITHS ENFIELD 1911 MADE IN ENGLAND" alongside the distinct production serial number "029" stamped near the top right edge.
