Welcome to my website!
My name is Tommy Wylie, I live in Orkney (Scotland, UK) and I am a keen collector of clocks. I have studied clocks since I was old enough to say "Mam, what time is it?". Over the years, I have bought and sold a huge number. I have rebuilt ones from near-dead and I have sometimes made new clocks out of bits which were never intended to be compatible. However, I don't intend to stop gathering clocks and describing them here in detail for the benefit of all who visit. I hope that through this site, light can be shed on obscure items, and clocks which have been thought of as trivial can be examined in greater depth. I have found many fascinating items which needed a second look! I aim that this site will reveal some overlooked gems as well as discussing the more commonplace. Hopefully the discussions and discoveries will be of interest and benefit to clock enthusiasts everywhere!

Hello Mr. Wylie: My name is luis octavio elizalde from mexico city. Finding information in the web about SECTICON clocks, i saw your conversations an comments with Eckmill relative to make run a vintage clock. The forum is NAWCC. I have an old and fine preserved Secticon Wall clock that bought my father in ITALY in 1963. He died in 1998 and the clock passed to my property. Obviously you know a lot about these timepeaces.
ReplyDeleteThe clock has the same problem that yours, the rotor runs correctly with a 1.5 v battery but the scape wheel dont move. I hope fix it as soon as possible.
I wish sell my clock and i think that you could bring me a few tips about how much it could coast in the collectors market arround the world.
