Here is the most popular of the Gazo Family Clock Factory wall clocks, named after the city of San Marcos, CA, which adjoins the community in which we live.
Physical: There is a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in this clock which made it the best-selling of all the Gazo models. The gorgeous dark alder case is in excellent physical condition and retains its original finish which was recently polished and waxed. It measures 15"w x 41"h x 10"d.
The 8" etched brass dial has "cartouche" porcelain numerals and is also in excellent original condition. The pendulum is original and correct. All five finials are in original excellent condition.
Mechanical: The movement was professionally serviced recently and is in excellent running order right here in our office. It features a "triple-chime" movement that plays Westminster, Whittington, and St. Michael's chimes on the quarter hours and strikes the hour after the chime (or you can turn the chime/strike off). The original cast brass pendulum is in excellent condition as is the cast brass "beat plate" below the pendulum.
Comments: These are wonderful clocks, prized by collectors across the country. Shouldn't this one be hanging proudly in your home or office? P.S. Priced right, too!

Here is a Family Clock Factory model that we've only seen a handful of times in our 26 years in business. Though it shares a common case with the Carmel and Monterey models, each has a different pediment. The "La Costa" model features the highly sought "North Wind" crest on the crown.
A Little Background: In Greek mythology, Boreas was the god of the north wind and bringer of cold winter air. In Roman mythology the north wind was represented by Aquilo and Septentrio. In Inuit mythology, Negafook represents "the North Wind" or, more eloquently, "the spirit that likes cold and stormy weather."
This style was quite popular during the late Victorian era and into the early 20th century. The North Wind was supposed to cast or "blow" evil spirits away. Got that? We have one client who, admittedly, is "north wind crazy", but his extensive collection is all oak; bummer!
Physical: The walnut-colored alder case, which measures 60"h x 20"w x 10"d is in excellent condition and features the original finish. Its serial number is LC/115/A (which makes it a "La Costa", the 115th in their production sequence, and made of Alder). There is a "Gazo '75" signature is engraved into the back of the door indicating its manufacture year along with a brass Gazo factory plate at the inside top of the door.
Mechanical: The eight-day time and rod-strike Jauch movement was completely overhauled and cleaned/lubricated/adjusted by our highly experienced Gazo technician. It is in excellent running order with a nice mellow chime tone. It plays the Westminster chime tune.
Comments: This is a big, beautiful clock – a lot for the money. Give us a call to make it your own.

Physical: Here's a spectacular big clock from the Gazo Family Clock Factory. The alder case measures 60"h x 16"w x 13"d and is great condition with original finish as you can seen in the photos below.
The front door features convex glass above and beveled glass below. There are also side glass panels through which you can see the inside of the cabinet and the mechanism. Note the beautiful original brass pendulum lyre, etched pendulum bob, and porcelain beat plate. And the wonderful hand-carved backboard behind the pendulum.
We put several day's work into cleaning and waxing the case – which, in our opinion, looks better than the day it left the factory!
The eight-inch etched brass dial features the Gazo name prominently as well as porcelain "cartouche"-style numerals that were common on later Gazo clocks.
Mechanical: The just-serviced movement is in excellent mechanical condition. It plays Westminster, Whittington and St. Michael's chime tunes on the quarter hours, followed by the hour strike on the hours which you can switch off, but it is a very mellow chime; you'll be charmed by the sound.
|
Comments: This is one of Gazo's most popular wall models just waiting for you with lots of hand-carved attention-to-detail. We don't see this model too often as families tend to keep and pass them between generations.
Shipping: We will arrange for blanket-wrap shipping – you pay the shipper directly; or you're welcomed to pick it up here.

Over the years we have sold many Gazo Family Clock Factory models in most styles, wood, and finish. But the Scottsdale is a seldom seen model. This is number 189 in their manufacturing sequence (S/N: SDR/189/A).
This stately model was patterned after the E. Howard Regulator No. 57 from the 1889 catalogue that would be worth between $50-75k today, if you could even find one. The similarity of design is amazing... but ours is a little less expensive!

Physical: The hand-carved alder case with English walnut finish measures 22.5"w x 77"h x 10"d and is in excellent overall condition. Note the full turned and fluted columns that flank the trunk door, and the detailed carving that was the hallmark of Gazo clocks. It has just been thoroughly cleaned and polished and is in showroom condition. The brass standoffs that you see protruding from the lower sides have the original knurled knobs (but which are in a plastic bag at the moment and not in the photo).
The glass is beveled and also features the original "Scottsdale Regulator" lettering, unique amongst Gazo clocks. The large signed porcelain dial measures 13" in diameter and includes a seconds bit. The dial is original to the clock and in excellent physical condition. The pendulum and weight are original to the clock.
Mechanical: The weight-driven eight-day, single-weight, time-only movement is in excellent running order. This is the only Gazo model on which there was an electronic beat-regulator on the movement as it came from the factory. The purpose is to make the clock run as accurately as practical. There are three "C" cells that provide power to two pulsing electromagnets. You can see them in the photo of the movement behind the dial.
Comments: Several people have asked about the pendulum drop on this model. The clock case does not have a bottom, nor did it ever when shipped from the factory. The pendulum will drop down into the base, at which point it will run out of cable and stop, ready to be wound every week.
Been looking for a majestic big wall clock with understated elegance and at a price you can afford? Then this would be the Gazo clock for you – not an ounce of garishness here – it's just stately. Give us a call to make it your own.
Shipping: We will arrange blanket-wrap moving for you with one of our reliable carriers. You pay them directly. The other option is for you to pick up the clock directly from us. With the crown off, it's 64.5" high and fits easily in the back of an SUV.

Here's a Gazo Family Clock Factory model we don't see to frequently because the families that have owned them over the years tend not to part when them even at a generational transfer or downsizing. This clock, bearing s/n "OT/225/O" confirms model name, production sequence No. 225, made of "O"ak.
The clock was designed in the manner of many British-styled railroad or, in this case, Government Post Office (GPO) master station clocks (this Gazo clock is a reproduction, not one that was actually used by the British railroads or government).
Physical: The solid oak case, which measures 25"w at the top x 57" h x 6"d is in excellent physical condition and has the original finish. There were different catalogue versions of this model in two different lengths and with differing bottom finials. This clock has the longer of the two box lengths.
|
The dial, with original paint, measures a whopping 17" in diameter and bears the mark of the current queen upon it (see below). It also bears the mark "GPO" just below the center arbor to which the very British-looking hands are attached. "E.R." stands for the Latin "Elizabeth Regina", the latin for "Elizabeth the Queen". It does not mean "Elizabeth Reigns"!
Mechanical: The eight-day Westminster-chiming clock is was professionally overhauled for the consignor in June 2012 and is in excellent running order.
Comments: Though we have not had too many of this model over the years, they have been strong sellers. So, if you are interested, please call now to make it you own. We saw this same model in a large retail clock shop in the San Diego area recently "marked down" to $2,150. We have a perfect clock that is available now that must make them just blush at their silly pricing!

Note Regarding Gazo Cast Brass Pendulums: Several times each year we are contacted by people who have a Gazo clock that is that is missing its cast-brass pendulum, either from one of the smaller models (San Marcos, Coronado, Palo Alto, Ramona) or from one of the tallcase models with the angel bob. We took the bobs you see below to an antiquities casting professional who made molds of each. If you happen to be one of those people who need assistance with either of these two pendulums, please contact us directly. They are not inexpensive by any means, but are faithful copies of the real thing. Unfortunately, we have no practical way to replace ether the round, etched pendulum bobs, or etched or stamped weights.

Note Regarding Gazo Movement Repair: We have an expert technician who knows Gazo movements thoroughly and can repair most things. Let us know if we can assist.
Note Regarding Gazo Music Box Repair: We occasionally hear from a distressed Gazo owner who has a dead music box (sometimes it's just the batteries). The Reuge Company is out of business and there are no parts. BUT... and here's the exciting part... if the motor in your Gazo/Reuge music box is burned out we can likely replace it. Again, we have an expert Gazo repair department. Let us know if you are no longer hearing beautiful music from your Gazo music box!
