Slate Clocks & Barometers

Designer/makers of high quality Welsh slate clocks and barometers of distinction

At the Slate Workshop we only use Welsh slate for our clocks and barometers. We aim to make timepieces and weather instruments to be proud of. See testimonials for some of our customers’ feedback.

Slate Clocks

We make both wall hanging and mantel clocks and usually have a wide stock available. The clocks can be on either random ‘natural’outline or straight edged slate, or have curved or angled tops.

Engraved faces

We make engraved face clocks, both for sale in our showroom and to commission. We try and make original clock face designs as well as having classical designs available.

Clocks inserted into slate

We also insert clocks into the slate. The clock faces are in 3 sizes-(72mm, 80mm and 105mm diameter) so the slate is always considerable bigger than this. The clocks can have either white, gold or silver faces with Roman or Arabic numerals. Other sepcifications of colour and design also catered for. 

Additional artwork

Both engraved face and insert clocks can have hand drawn and engraved artwork incorporated, and be finished with paint (usually silver or grey) or gold leaf.

Slate Barometers/Weather stations

Slate barometers/thermometers/hygrometers are also inserted into the slate and can be either wall-hanging or free standing. Sometimes the inserted instrument is just a barometer, or a barometer and thermometer combination. Hygrometers- recording the relative humidity- are separate instruments inserted alongside or below the barometer.

Hand drawn artwork

As with the slate clocks, the weather instruments can have hand drawn and engraved designs incorporated in the slate.

Clocks and barometers

We often put a clock with a barometer or barometer/thermometer. This makes an attractive and popular Welsh slate gift.

Prices

Prices for slate clocks and barometers depend on size and additional artwork.

We like to work closely with our clients- each piece is treated individually - so we don’t have standardised order forms.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we can then give you a price and delivery date for your order.
