S. Smith and Son Strand Motor Timepiece

Views: 65,982.  

The 1903 S. Smith and Son Strand Motor Timepiece. 

This is exactly the same type of clock that was originally fitted to the ex-Harmsworth 1903 60hp Mercedes-Simplex. 

Today? These clocks are just about impossible to find. They are ultra rare.  

The rarest and best of all early motor car clocks. 

So, if you want one of these clocks first thing is you have to find one. Indeed, this may well be the only surviving clock with the early parallel-sided case. 

It may be the only surviving clock that exactly matches the empty mounting block on the ex-Harmsworth car. 

It may be the only chance to return the car to its' complete and original specification.

You may not be interested in owning the clock. But what if a Pebble Beach concours judge asks you about the empty mounting block?  Or what if the missing clock turns into a financial stumbling block when you want to sell the car?  

And when that person looks at the car and asks you what is the purpose of the empty mounting block?  What will you say? Oh, that? That's a foot rest? 

Or will you respond with the confidence and panache of a consummate connoisseur?

Nonchalantly produce your clock from your pocket, carefully place it upon the empty mounting block and close the deal. 

In this instance the clock holds immense historical, cultural and emotional value. Not to mention substantial financial value of completeness and originality. In this context the value of the clock transcends the sum of its' parts. It completes the masterpiece. And you should consider that most carefully because it's as important to the value of the car as it is important to the history of motoring. 

So here it is. Ready and waiting. No more searching. Just one click away. Buy it now or regret it at your leisure when it is no longer available. Don't miss your chance.  

Global shipping  available.  Strictly no dealers or VCC tyre kickers, please.
