✓ Fully Serviced & Run-Tested ✓ Genuine Enfield Movement ✓ 30-Day Returns The Enfield Name Meet Albert
Albert has a little more history than most. Given as an Easter gift in 1949, he stayed with the same family long enough for his story to be written down and kept with him. His oak case still carries the character of those years, while his Enfield movement has now been fully serviced and is once again keeping time and sounding the hours as intended.
Enfield was one of the great names of English clockmaking through the interwar and post-war decades, turning out sturdy, reliable mantel movements that furnished homes across Britain during a period when a good clock on the mantelpiece was a genuine household investment. This example carries that quintessential English character in full: an oak-veneered Napoleon-hat case, a crisp silvered dial, and a two-train mechanical movement built to run and strike for generations.

Clocks like this one were the classic Easter and wedding gifts of their day, and this piece comes with the note to prove it. Tucked with the clock is a handwritten record from the family who owned it:
\"Mum & Dad gave me this clock Easter 1949\"
The reverse of the note also records that the clock was professionally repaired in February 2009, a sign it has been cared for and kept running across three quarters of a century. That note travels with the clock to its next home.
Fully Serviced & Ready to Run
Most \"working\" clocks on the second-hand market have been given nothing more than a quick wind and a 20-second tick on camera. This one has been properly serviced on the bench and run-tested through full strike sequences before listing, so you can be confident it will keep time and chime reliably from day one rather than stall once it reaches your mantelpiece.
