Shaped like the wheel of a yacht or sailing vessel, this clock runs on AC current — the original cord, by Leviton, is still intact. We kept it plugged in for a week and it kept perfect time. The model number 330 is stamped on the back, along with the full United Clock Corp maker's mark, dating this piece to between 1940 and 1956, when United Clock was acquired by Sessions — this clock still bears the United name. Power: AC current only, 60 cycle, 115V, 2W. One available.
A distinguished piece for a coastal or nautical room, a study, a boat, or simply a home that values things made with intention. It would make a memorable gift for the sailor, the collector, or anyone who appreciates mid-century American craft.
United Clock Corporation operated out of Brooklyn, New York, and was known for producing well-made, characterful electric clocks in distinctive novelty cases throughout the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. The company was acquired by Sessions Clock Company in 1956, marking the end of the United Clock name — this piece, still bearing the original maker's mark, dates from before that transition.
