Singer 911 clock

I know this has come up before.. I want this clock or one like it. I am assuming that the collective wisdom on this forum knows at least a clock maker that I could commission to make a custom clock like this. I could do with out the TAG insignia

Not to nit-pic, but that's a pre-TAG insignia aka "Heuer".

Wayne had a thread about this clock. Most likely in the technical forum.

Edit: Here it is...

Is this not the coolest thing you've ever seen?

Would likely be easy with basic quartz movements. But what about the trademark/copyright issues with Heuer logo?

That's the touch that makes it cool. I'll be in for one of the first run before LVMH gets wind of it...

I wouldn't need the logo, in fact would rather see my companies logo in it's place.

How would you adjust it? No knobs.

There are a couple of ways to adjust quartz clocks without knobs. You can use a magnet set-up or electronically with a (removeable keypad).

Circled in RED.

This may be an adjustment knob or something else. Either way it's doable.

The only thing I would be concerned about is buy a clock with the Heuer logo when it's not a real Heuer.

Peter, that's the odometer reset for mechanical-speedo cars.

Silly me... You're right but why would they have a mechanical speedo in a Singer?

Wouldn't it be easier to use a electronic speedo with the G50 gearbox?
