Large Double-Sided Brillié Drevon Station Clock - Green
Authentic French Industrial Railway Clock, Circa 1940s
An impressive and authentic double-sided station clock by Brillié Drevon (France), originally used in railway stations, factories, and large public buildings where synchronized clocks ensured the same time was displayed throughout the building.
With its large 48 cm diameter, bold railway numerals, and striking industrial presence, this clock is a true statement piece that instantly adds character to any interior.
The clock retains its two original 30-second pulse slave movements, both tested and functioning correctly. These clocks were originally controlled by a central master clock system, which sent electrical impulses every 30 seconds to synchronize all clocks in the building.
Please note: It will not work directly out of the box:
It was originally designed to operate with a master clock system, but can also be used with a modern pulse generator if desired (NOT INCLUDED).
If preferred, it's also possible to convert this clock with 2 modern quartz mechanism so it works on just 2 batteries. If you want this, please send us a message before ordering the item.
The metal housing features its original green industrial paint, showing beautiful authentic wear and patina accumulated over decades of use.
Both sides feature glass-covered dials, allowing the time to be viewed from either direction, exactly as intended for busy railway platforms and factory halls.
Two integrated hooks on the top allow the clock to be easily suspended using the included heavy-duty chain.
This is a rare and highly decorative piece of mid-century industrial design, perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone looking for a genuine historic object with presence.
