Re: Smiths Sectronic
Mains with a bakelite casing and all metal movement (if memory serves) which I think dates it to the 1950s. There was a later version with a smaller white casing (plastic?) and a third hand for seconds. Some of the them had cream rather than yellow faces but there may have been other colours as well. I'll post some proper photos when I get a chance. I've got three other Metamec mantle clocks similar in style to your Smiths charity shop find. Two are battery and one is mains powered. Doesn't seem to be much appreciation of them generally but to me they have a certain period charm.
