Bespoke Monolith Clock


Good Directions Ltd was contacted by St. Albans Girls’ School who were celebrating their 100-year anniversary and were considering installing a commemorative clock outside of their main reception area. They had very specific requests and requirements, and Good Directions was more than happy to work alongside them and ensure they received a product they were delighted with and was a fitting celebration for their centenary.

This bespoke monolith was manufactured out of brushed Stainless Steel panels. The metal framework was powder coated yellow, with their crest and bespoke sign writing applied in blue and yellow vinyl to match the school colours.

The clock hands were finished in the same RAL blue that the vinyl is in, ensuring a perfect match. This monolith had 2 clocks, one traditional, with Roman Numerals on the outside, the other had 8 influential and inspirational women’s names from activists to scientists for the chapters, leaving only the 12,3,6 and 9 numbers visible. This effect was also achieved by using vinyl, with each of the women’s names being in their own circle and colour, inspiring the girls at the schools and to remind them of the greatness they can achieve.

Good Directions Ltd does not only produce many stock or “traditional” clocks, but it also has enormous pride in its engineer’s talent and industry know how to be able to produce bespoke pieces such as this one. Their helpful and friendly office staff will happily take care of you, and you can be rest assured that your ideas and products are in safe hands when you interact and purchase from Good Directions Ltd. Whatever your idea, whether it be for your home, school, business or local pub or club, there is guaranteed to be a size and style of clock that you will cherish forever. You are only limited by your imagination when ordering a clock from Good Directions, with you being able to customise virtually every element of your clock, ensuring that there is nothing else quite like it on the market elsewhere.

It was an exciting moment as many people watched the replacement clock we manufactured for the Royal Borough of Windsor being lowered into the pavement in Thames Street, the exact spot where the original clock had been placed over fifty years previously. Lowering the pavement clock into the ground at Windsor The original clock was installed on May 15, 1950, by former Windsor Mayor and owner of Dysons, Sir Cyril Dyson. Sadly the clock was removed many years ago and its wareabouts is now unknown but the council wanted to re-instate an important part of Windsor's heritage and so approached us to manufacture a replacement.

Two exterior clocks donated as a lasting leaving gift to their school by pupils.

Image
Pupils at a school in Sussex decided that when they left they would like to give a leaving present that was a thank you to the whole school and would also be of use for many years to come. So the year of 2010 all raised money to be able to donate two large exterior clocks and came to us for advice. The pupils chose two 790mm Classic style clocks in dark blue from our range of standard exterior clocks. Gold leafed Arabic numerals were chosen to make the clocks clear and simple to read, then to personalise the clocks it was decided that the school logo would be sign written above the hands and the year 2010 sign written below. Having an in-house sign facility meant we could not only sign write the dials using special 22 carat gold leaf vinyl but even provide a brass plaque with all 52 of the children’s names on it to be fitted beneath one of the clocks, making us a one stop shop for the whole project. The school was so pleased with the clocks they have come b...
