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.
How our Clock Driver works
These clocks rely on one piece of physics. Electricity flowing through a coil of wire makes a magnet. The direction the electricity flows decides which end of the coil is the north pole and which is the south pole.
Once a minute, the VEEB Clock Driver sends a short pulse of electricity out of its red and black connectors, reversing the direction each time.
Inside the clock mechanism is a small magnet that can spin, called the magnet rotor (or the spinny magnet). Opposite magnetic poles attract, so the spinny magnet’s south end swings toward whichever end of the coil is north. When the electricity reverses, the coil’s north and south poles swap and the spinny magnet makes a half turn to line up again.
Each half turn moves the minute hand on by one minute, and the hour hand goes round once for every 12 times the minute hand goes round.
Inside the clock
Each mechanism has a character of its own, and that includes how it sounds. In the video below, a selection of them are adjusting to the correct time. Every tick you hear is the minute hand stepping forward. Once they’re set, that happens once a minute: a small sound that punctuates the silence and soon becomes part of your day.
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.


A timeless classic from the Swiss clock company Inducta, discovered in a Swiss attic and dated 1944. This beautiful mid-century wall clock features a solid walnut frame and an elegant brass rim encasing the glass. Its soft white face is complemented by black hands and minute spot markers.
The clock retains its original electric mechanism, running smoothly, and is driven by the included VEEB Clock Driver for reliable time synchronisation.
