Here is a Solar clock i bought at ch 111 meeting.
Works very well and price was right.
Does anyone know the aproximate year made and who would have been the seller.I am thinking a Canadian department store.

What do you mean by "Solar Clock"?

Greg

Solar is the name on the dial.I have 2 Solar clocks, both mantle clocks.

I guess they are not popular outside of Canada, as others from the u.s have not seen them either.

Hi Kevin:

Nice case. Do you have a picture of the movement? Is it German made?

Take care,
gp

Yes Grant it is german made and with westminster, i can post a picture later.

Kevin,
Could it have been made by Hermle? I have a couple of anniversary clocks with Solar on the dial, and I think they were made by Hermle. I'll have to check the Horolovar guide tonight to see what it says, but I am thinking it was Hermle.

ABC (just testing this new feature)

Andy i just went and had a look on the back of the movement.It says FHS on it.
My other Solar clock has it too.

Kevin,
That is a very attractive mantle clock. I have not heard of "Solar" either. I will be waiting to see what information turns up on that name.

Hi Kevin

Your solar clock was sold by the now defunked Eaton's department store.They are fast becoming highly sought after due to this.To my knowledge they all had an FHS(Hermle)movement,either Westminister or Bim-Bam,I have also worked on a few that had a single chime.
Hope this helps
Keep Ticking
