About the Seth Thomas “World” Clock
Introducing the Seth Thomas “World” clock, a noteworthy addition to any collector’s inventory. This piece, manufactured by the renowned Seth Thomas Clock Company around 1909, is a hanging clock with a distinctive 32-inch mahogany case.
The clock features a large double spring movement and a Graham dead beat escapement, both of which contribute to its precision and longevity. The dial, originally a 12-inch zinc piece, has undergone professional repainting, while the brass bezel may require polishing for an enhanced aesthetic appeal.
Another variant of this model, hailing from around the same period, is crafted in oak. This version, having undergent restoration, boasts a refinished case and retains its original dial, hands, and pendulum. The “World” clock also exists in rosewood, an uncommon find, with an 8-day time and strike mechanism.

Seth Thomas hanging clock, “World”, ca 1909.
Another 15 day , time only wall clock, with a large double spring movement, Graham dead beat escapement, and it is running.32 inch mahogany case has a factory stamp on the back, “July 1910”. Brass beat scale and pendulum. 12 inch zinc dial with a seconds dial that has lost most of the paint. A little flaking on the time dial. You can probably live with the 12 inch dial flaking but not the seconds dial. You may as well paint both to have a first rate clock.You will need to polish the brass bezel, repaint or put new gold leaf on the strip around the lower glass, and the clock should approach a $800-$1000 value.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. hanging, “World”, ca 1909.
A very good buy for an excellent and poplar wall clock. The movement runs 15 days because of the large double springs. Does not strike. It has Graham dead beat escapement. We recently had it serviced and it is running up a storm. This model is known to be an excellent timepiece.The old 31 inch mahogany case has veneer repairs on one of the 8 sections around the top. The gold trim on the stick and around the lower glass has been repainted silver. Some people just prefer silver to gold. The dial has been professionally repainted on the old pan. Our minimum is low for this clock. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 150.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. hanging “World”, ca 1883.
Case stamped at the factory with date of 1883. That is earlier than any of the World models pictured in my books. Oak case is 32″ high, clean but would look better (to me) with a little more polish. It is not a cream puff as it has been used, probably commercially, and later cleaned of the smoke. Not refinished, but cleaned. For its age the original painted dial is excellent. It has three original hands, brass rings and good glasses. Polished brass bob, brass beat scale, wood stick, and the heavy duty, double wind, I would assume a 15 day brass movement, as pictured in the ST catalogs. The movement is marked, “86W”. See Ly-Seth Thomas, page 323. They put a 30 day movement in some of these cases but frankly I am not smart enough to tell the 15 day from the 30 day.

Seth Thomas “World”, long drop regulator, C. 1885.
Old oak veneer case is32″ high, great wood grain matches, yet is different at every turn. A careful and skilled wood man filled all the wood joints with a color matching wood putty, cleaned the case, sent the old dial to The Dial House for a good repaint, and in general made the clock fine enough for anyone to hang in their home. I note a repair made on the minute hand. All brass is polished, and a new knob was installed on the lower door. Full label inside the case. 8 day, large double spring movement with Graham dead beat escapement, Geneva stops still in place, and there is a second’s dial. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 150.

Seth Thomas wall clock, “World”, C. 1885.
This is another clock that has been in storage for several years. The 32″ rosewood case is dirty and the wood looks dry. You know what has to be done to correct that. The gold around the lower glass is pretty good; brass bezel sure needs to be polished. I hardly know what to say about the dial, it looks dirty, yet has very little paint loss which is most unusual. The clock has a great 15 day movement, No. 40, with two large springs and is time only. The Geneva locks are in the bottom of the case. Some people have a difficult time figuring them out, so they remove them. It has a nice ST brass bob with the circles, the hands look fine, and there is a nice label in the case. I couldn’t get it to run but I feel confident it just needs to be cleaned and oiled. When I had the dial off hooking the pendulum I didn’t notice anything wrong with the movement.

Seth Thomas “World”, C. 1885.
Factory stamp on the back showing date the clock made. A great 32″ walnut case with just a few small scuff marks that should be easy to rub away. There are at least 2 other ST World clocks in this catalog, #4 & #21. This case is much nicer than the others, if only the dial were better. Good gold around the lower door, nice shining bezel, correct hands, nickel beat scale, nice black label inside the case, and the original dial. This will be a super clock when the dial is painted. The big ST movement is 15 day, double spring, time only, running. The Geneva stops are still on the movement. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 150.

C.1905, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn, “WORLD”, Octagon drop, 8-day time and strike in rosewood, with seconds hand.
Condition: this is an interesting clock for several reasons. First off is the rosewood veneer. I have a World in my personal collection that is in rosewood, and it is very uncommon to find (see 1896 catalog offering both globe and World clocks in Rosewood). The world came in both wide a narrow versions, of which this is the narrow. The dial on this clock has been refinished not once, but twice, after the first, the guy didn’t like his results so he wire wooled the numerals off and started over. All this work is obvious under a magnifying glass, but at a distance, looks quite good. The finish on the case is original, with only a couple of finish checks on the edge (veneer is perfect). For complete details, see Tran Ly’s book on Seth Thomas, 3rd Edition, Vol 1, page 322-323. Overall a very good example of this model. Inside label dark but readable. Ht 32″ [81.5cm]
