Preserved vintage wall clocks
Clock Manufactured in Switzerland, 1952
Authentic electric mechanisms, restored by hand in Switzerland.
Self-adjusting. Accurate to the second, decade after decade.
These clocks have already lived one life. VEEB gives them another.
Vintage mechanism. Modern timekeeping.
Vintage wall clocks are popular, but not all of them are equal. All too often, the original mechanism has been replaced with a cheap quartz alternative. The clock may still look the part, but something important has been lost. It's like fitting a Ferrari chassis with a sewing machine engine. It'll look good in your driveway, strangers will be impressed, but you'll always know.

The heart of the clock
Each clock begins with an original mechanism carrying its own history and character. We pair it with a new VEEB Clock Driver, bringing together the engineering of the past with the reliability of today.
Our role isn't to make these clocks new. It's to pass them, and their history, on to a new generation of custodians.
Every mechanism is cleaned, serviced, and adjusted by hand in our workshop. We restore sympathetically, leaving the marks of a previous life intact. A scratch, a faded label, or a handwritten service note isn't something to erase. It's part of the story that makes each clock unique.
Inside the clock
Every mechanism has its own character, including its sound. The video below captures just a few of them. A small detail, but one that becomes part of your everyday life.
Restored in Switzerland. Rehomed worldwide.
Each pin marks a clock that has begun its next chapter after passing through our Swiss workshop. The map is still growing.
From the workshop
VEEB has been restoring clocks in Basel since 2020. We also build things from scratch, with the same care that goes into every clock movement: a calendar that just shows the date, a display that shows a daily quote. No algorithm, no notifications, no nagging to check out a podcast. Same design philosophy, different century.


At 11.5 kg, this Favag wall clock weighs many times more than its ordinary cousins, and we aren’t entirely sure why.
Made in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in the middle of the 20th century, its massive cast iron housing closes like a clamshell, two heavy halves hinged at the side and secured with brass screws. Power enters through a brass cable gland on top, keeping the enclosure sealed from the outside world. This is the kind of construction normally reserved for demanding industrial settings, and we suspect it spent its working life somewhere ordinary clocks would have been too fragile.
The light grey housing frames a crisp white dial with bold black Arabic numerals, a full minute track and broad black baton hands, made to be read at a glance from across a room.
Measuring 37 cm in diameter, it is a clock with real gravity, perfect for a kitchen, workshop or living space in need of a statement piece with some mystery to it.
This clock retains its original electric mechanism, which is running smoothly and is driven by the included VEEB Clock Driver for reliable, accurate time synchronisation. The VEEB Clock Driver is included with every clock purchase.
