Seiko Quartz Westminster Whittington Octagon Schoolhouse Wall Clock

This is a vintage Seiko quartz wall clock featuring a classic schoolhouse regulator-style design with an octagonal upper case and a drop-front pendulum window. The case is constructed from medium-toned oak wood with a visible grain, exhibiting tight joinery consistent with mass-production quality. The clock face is white with black Roman numeral hour markers, a minute track with Arabic numerals at five-minute intervals, and elegant black spade-style hands. Notably, the dial is marked 'SEIKO QUARTZ' at the top and 'Westminster Whittington' in cursive near the bottom, indicating electronic chime capabilities. A polished brass-tone bezel secures the glass crystal over the dial. Below, the pendulum chamber features a glass pane with a gold-leaf border detail, revealing a polished brass-tone bob on a wooden or metal rod. Based on the styling and movement type, this piece likely dates to the late 20th century, approximately the 1980s or 1990s. The condition appears fair to good; there are visible surface scuffs and light scratches on the top edge of the octagonal wood frame, suggesting it has been moved or stored improperly. The reflection on the glass surface makes internal inspection difficult, but the brass elements show a bright luster without significant oxidation.
