Electrifying Time: Telechron and Ge Clocks 1925-1955 (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Half

(Paperback)-Telechron and General Electric pioneered the application of machine age, art deco styling to clock designs, starting with the Paul Frankl designed Modernique. So impressive are many of the designs that over the years they have been incorrectly attributed to such designers as Gilbert Rohde, Russel Wright, and Rockwell Kent. This book sets the record straight, documenting the designers of some 175 models. Readers are introduced to such long forgotten designers as John Rainbault, Ray Patten, and Ivan Bruce whose work is often credited to the big-name designers. Over 700 Telechron and General Electric models produced between 1925 and 1955 are chronicled through over 900 photographs and illustrations, 430 in color. Extensively researched by author Jim Linz, the book even includes production dates and sales figures for many models. A quick reference price guide and index to the models is included as an appendix. Helpful tips for repairing and restoring Telechron and General Electric clocks, including an astonishing method for breathing new life into dead rotors, rounds out the presentation.

User Reviews for Electrifying Time: Telechron and Ge Clocks 1925-1955 (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Overall Rating: Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Half ( 6 reviews )
  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Aug 12 2009

    This book is rich in pictures and I found just about every Telechron/G.E. clock that I currently own and it's value. The repair tips are extremely helpfull. I also enjoyed the history of the Telecron company itself and of Henry Warren in particular,I was truly amazed at how much he contributed to our modern way of living... A must have for anyone who owns and or repairs these clocks.

    This book is wonderful. It has a lot of colored photographs and is a great reference book. It is worth the money.

    The book contains a lot of good history on the company, the founder, and the advertising/promotion meterials. The section on the "designers" gets a little boring. The section on repairing/restoring is interesting and has some good information. There is not a lot of depth to it but for most people, it is more than you'll need. I like the model look up list in the back. The price guide will soon go out of date though, and some of the color photos of the various clocks are horribly green. Overall it's a good book and well worth buying if you are a Telechron enthusiast.
