Manufacturer of Street Clock

A Street Clock, or Post Clock as they are also known, is a free-standing, two or four-sided clock, on top of a post. They can be found on main streets, golf courses, country clubs, schools, back yards, and banks. Originally the clocks contained mechanical clock movements, located in the base or in a vault below the clock, which needed to be wound periodically. The modern electric clocks are set manually or by automatic clock controllers. Street Clocks were once used as the Town clock – creating a common time source for everyone. Traditionally installed by jewelers, Street Clocks were also used as signage. Your pocket watch could be set to the correct time shown on the Street Clock and if your watch wasn’t functioning correctly you could visit the jeweler’s service department. Street or Post Clocks were also commonly used by banks and retailers. These traditions carry through today.
