Metamec

Updated 14 July 2015.

Metamec, based in Dereham, Norfolk, England, started making synchronous electric clocks in 1947. They stopped making clocks when the company went into receivership in 1984. Some Metamec synchronous clocks have a synthetic tick which can be turned on and off. For further information, and the history of the company, see BIRD C. Metamec. The clockmaker. Dereham. Wadhurst, Sussex: Antiquarian Horological Society, 2003. The book includes extensive information on individual models, including a picture gallery. Metamec also made mechanical clocks.

Model designations in the list, and in descriptions, are from Bird’s book, as are production dates.

Sometimes, the same type of case was fitted with both synchronous and mechanical movements. For an example click the following link S 170 B 26 Metamec A
