Elliott Clock Catalogue 1974

Here is an Elliott Clock Catalogue with price list. Remember that an Omega Speedmaster cost about $320, and a Rolex President cost about $1850 in 1974, so you could take the prices you find in this catalogue and multiply by ten to twenty times, in order to estimate what a comparable Elliott clock would cost in 2024!

I would like to thank Ben Fulghum for sharing this catalogue.


Here is an 11 jewel French l'Épée escapement platform, made for Elliott clocks. This was the best available at the time, in the late 1960s and early 70s. Click on the photos to see enlargements.

The most commonly used platform was the 7 jewel l'Épée platform, like this one from the late 1960s. Elliott clocks with this platform keep very accurate time.

This 7 jewel l'Épée platform is from about 1980.

Here is a Smiths ABEC platform from around 1950. These were used in Elliott clocks when they could not get enough l'Épée escapements, and are probably quite scarce.

The last platform is from the 1980s, a l'Épée with a hairspring on the escape wheel, acting somewhat like a buffer to make the ticking much quieter, and is probably also quite scarce.

The last platform is mounted onto a movement that provides time only, which are more common than the chiming clocks, because the chiming clocks were even more expensive.

The case is heavy, made of green onyx stone in Belgium.

The original movement in the Elliott clock below, from the 1950s, was badly damaged, so this is a replacement movement with the hammer assembly and several other parts taken from the original movement. Otherwise, this movement looks like a typical Elliott chiming clock with two chimes, Westminster and Whittington. The original dust cover over the escapement platform was missing, so this platform has a dust cover made from a business card.

Finally, one of the most exciting finds in my collection, a 1974 Elliott with dual chimes and chinoiserie.
