Bring a touch of analogue heritage to your space with this hand-built clock, made in the Musicrange workshop.

Each clock is crafted from an empty Ampex 456 Grand Master ¼” 10.5" reel, once used for professional studio recording. The aluminium reel has been paired with a 3.5” hard-drive spindle as a backing plate, and fitted with a reliable battery-powered quartz clock unit featuring bright red hands.

  • Original vintage Ampex 456 tape reel

  • 3.5” recycled hard drive spindle backplate

  • Quartz battery clock mechanism (1 x AA battery)

  • Wall-mountable (hook fitting included)

  • Diameter: approx. 27cm (10.5")

Every clock is unique, showing subtle signs of the reel’s past life in the studio — small marks or variations add to its character.

Hand-built at Musicrange in Aberdeen.
All proceeds support Musicrange (SC046277), a charity providing creative opportunities for young people through music.
