Got one of those, Jim, but it's a tad smaller and fits on my wrist as a sometime quartzy daily beater. Really easy to tell the time at a glance and a nice brightly coloured seconds hand for timing the espresso shot.
I don't have one but I've loved them since I was 4 or 5 years old. http://www.roger-russell.com/jeffers/prins.htm
Standard Electric Time, Secondary or Slave clock, ca 1960. http://clockhistory.com/setclocks/index.html The Standard Electric Time Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, made electric time systems for public buildings, private industry, schools and other institutions. The systems consist of a master clock, and secondary (or slave) clocks located in any number of rooms. The slave clocks are electrically controlled by the master clock. Even in its un-restored 60+ year old state, this one is keeping time within 1 sec a month.
This is one I would like to get if I can find one. The original Swiss railway clock is in the process of dying out, or perhaps better said, in the process of being replaced by a newer version. The original versions were engineered to have the second hand stop at the 12 position, remain frozen for a couple of seconds and then start to move again once the minute hand had jumped to the next minute. The speed of the second hand obviously needed to be a bit higher in order to travel the minute in less time than an actual minute to compensate for the stopping. And all of this in the interest of punctual train departure, allowing the conductor to be precise in signalling for departure. Unfortunately, it turns out that maintaining these mechanisms is quite expensive and the Swiss railways have decided to gradually replace old mechanisms with simpler and standard clock mechanisms when they need servicing. Most people did not know this of course, me included, until clock aficionados started to protest and got their story in the news - without success I am afraid.
Man, I had a comment but I was overcome by a brief spell of couth. It's killin' me. Is that a sunbeam clock behind it? Probably not, but I have wonderful memories of one. Is there a good website to use to come up to speed on collecting wall clocks?
It's a junghans from their old meister line. The German guy who sold it to me did mention something similar to sunbeam in the listing but probably not the one you're after Check out the NAWCC website if you're after vitage and antique clocks.
Found this old thread vs. starting a new one. Our wall clock in the breakfast area had quit. Looked unsuccessfully for a replacement that both fit the space and met the requirements of our chief designer (aka wife). Found replacement parts - $10 for a movement and $10 for hands and now have a fully functional clock again. Yes, the minute hand is a bit too long, but had to get a longer hand and trim; the next size down was way, way too short. If we trimmed this one any more, it would end up as a stump!
