Scope and content
This master clock was provided by the Glasgow firm of Dykes Brothers. However, the stylised clock face with distinctive numbering is likely to have been to a design by Mackintosh. Electrically operated, the 'master' clock' powered all the numerous wooden 'slave' clocks by means of an electrical pulse every 30 seconds. This item was assessed for conversation in 2010 as part of the Mackintosh Conservation and Access project (2006-2010), and then again in 2018 following the fire in the Mackintosh Building in June 2018.
