Telechron General Electric 1950s 15 Vintage School Clock GE Updated Quartz

  
This listing is for an original 1950s Telechron / General Electric Model 1H1612 wall clock, a large institutional-grade timepiece designed for schools, offices, and public buildings. This example is in very nice condition and has been upgraded with a silent quartz battery movement, allowing it to be placed anywhere without needing a nearby electrical outlet. This is a substantial clock, measuring 12 5/8" across the dial and 15 1/2" in total diameter.

The case is made of dark Bakelite-plastic material and has no cracks, chips, or paint splatters. It has been carefully cleaned and polished, restoring a deep, glossy finish. Light surface scratches are present but only noticeable upon close inspection.

The glass lens has a few small scratches that require close examination to see. The dial was gently cleaned after decades of use and shows age-appropriate blemishes and minor paint loss, with a faint scratch at the 11-12, but it displays beautifully from a normal viewing distance. The Telechron-branded face is original to the clock and reflects the General Electric/Telechron dual-branding used during this era. The original synchronous motor has been replaced with a modern, silent quartz movement for reliability and convenience. It has been tested for 96 hours and keeps accurate time.

The original red-dot power indicator and time-set knob have been retained for historical authenticity. They are no longer functional with the quartz movement, but the red indicator has been positioned in the "red" setting to add a subtle touch of color to the dial. A beautifully refurbished 1950s GE/Telechron wall clock with a silent quartz movement, polished case, and excellent overall presentation.
