Archives - Rotorua Hospital multi-clock installation

We were asked to supply a clock for mounting on the recently restored historic cricket pavilion.

We supplied a custom face and cover design using movement and master controller from COM of Belgium.

The design had to be sufficiently resilient to withstand being hit for six from the wicket. Special reinforcing was built around the clock perimeter. This provided the protection required whilst at the same time remaining unobtrusive.
