We’re proud to say that when it comes to creating iconic clocks, we’ve got form.

Back in 1995, our 'Rusty Cogger' clock, designed by our own Jim Read, didn't just tell time; it told a story, becoming an instant classic, a viral sensation, and the inspiration for countless others.

Fast-forward 30 years, and we’re still creating modern classics. Here, we’ve rounded up some of our most iconic clocks that are guaranteed to be a talking point in your home…

Pluto wall clock

Pluto is a large retro mid-century inspired sunburst wall clock with handmade real wood sunrays and a vintage-style spun brass effect dial. Ideal in a retro setting, the starburst Pluto wall clock creates a statement focal point in a room.

The sunburst design is synonymous with the glamorous and innovative aesthetic of the mid-20th century. Inspired by the rays of the sun, this design radiates energy and sophistication, making it a perfect focal point in any room.

The striking design of our Pluto clock immediately draws the eye, making it an ideal statement piece in living rooms, dining areas, or even hallways. In a contemporary setting, this stunning sunburst clock adds a touch of retro charm without overpowering the modern elements of the space. In more traditional interiors, it brings a sense of warmth and nostalgia, blending seamlessly with classic decor.

Putney wall clock

One of Newgate's most iconic clock designs, the Putney is inspired by the mid-century railway station clocks that our founders collected on their travels across Europe. A large black station wall clock with a bold marker dial, the Putney features contrasting red hands and deep straight-cut metal case with a gloss black finish.

Now a design classic, this retro-inspired wall clock has been brought bang up to date with an injection of modern and contemporary style.

Equally at home in an industrial, retro or minimalist interior, not only is this iconic wall clock a great way to create an alternative focal point within a room, it’s also ideal for adding depth, texture and practicality. This is why The Putney remains one of our most popular clocks.

M Mantel Echo clock

At Newgate, we’re famous for our large wall clocks, but we’re pleased to say our mantel clocks have become just as iconic. Take the M Mantel Echo clock- a contemporary black mantel or desk clock with a minimalist dial.

Available in a range of monochrome colour options, this modern matt-finish mantel clock holds a graphic dial and glass lens. Ideal for adding style and function to the desk, mantelpiece or shelves, the M Mantel coordinates with our black alarm clock and black wall clock.

Wideboy alarm clock

Our alarm clock collection is where retro design meets modern functionality. One of the hallmarks of our alarm clocks is their retro-inspired design, and this is certainly evident in our iconic Wideboy alarm clock.

The Wideboy is a large retro-inspired alarm clock with a matt black case and mid-century atomic dial housed in a matt black rectangular case mounted on widely-spaced plinth feet.

Whilst drawing on inspiration from days gone by, this stand-out alarm clock also offers modern functionality and a bold, contemporary finish. The Wideboy’s distinctive size and shape perfectly suits today’s interiors while still paying homage to vintage style.

Covent Garden alarm clock

You don’t get much more iconic than a hammer on bell alarm clock. Renowned for their timeless appeal and distinctive sound, these clocks offer a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Hammer on bell alarm clocks have been a staple in homes for generations, and their enduring popularity is well deserved. Of course, they’re best-known for their distinctive and unmistakable ringing sound, and our classic Covent Garden alarm clock certainly doesn’t disappoint!

This Newgate icon is celebrated for its traditional charm. The visual appeal of the Covent Garden’s bell and hammer mechanism brings a nostalgic touch to any room, evoking memories of classic timepieces from the past. 

Battersby wall clock

Let’s finish up with another of our iconic wall clocks. Our large decorative wall clocks changed the way people thought about clocks: so much more than just timepieces, our clocks became a focal point of interior design. Our wall clocks continue to be some of our bestsellers to this day, and the classic Battersby is no exception. 

A large railway station wall clock with a classic Roman numeral dial and gloss black metal case, this traditional railway station clock is a timeless classic that makes a handsome addition to any interior space.
