Smith Variations

Updated 19 October 2016.

The company now known as Smiths Group plc produced synchronous clocks from 1931 to 1979. They also made clocks for other companies, and supplied movements for incorporation into clocks made by other manufactures. The clocks shown below were all marketed under a different name. One of these is a Genalex. For more Genalex clocks see the Genalex page.
