I came across this rare camera in a local auction sale. It wasn't working but I decided to give it a new life as a clock. I've replaced the lens mechanism with a modern quartz clock movement. It is a silent movement and the second hand sweeps round smoothly.

To preserve the appearance of the camera I've managed to leave the bellows unaltered. The clock movement is fitted behind the front cover which is securely clipped into place and easily detachable whenever the battery needs changing.

Full description

The No. 2 Hawkette was a Folding Camera using 120 roll film, made in England by Kodak in 1930. The body is mottled brown Bakelite with art-deco details. It took eight 6 x 9 cm frames on 120 film. This camera had a very simple lens, with three unlabelled f-stops and a rotary shutter with Time & Instant settings.

The camera wasn't available in normal retail outlets and was sold only through premium advertising promotions.

This clock comes in a gift box as shown and complete with a battery and 12 month warranty on the clock movement.

It makes an interesting conversation piece and would be of interest to any photography geek.

This item will be sent by Royal Mail small packets Airsure or International signed for. Within the UK it will be sent by courier.
