Cut from the fuselage of a Boeing 747 “Jumbo Jet” Aircraft (or “Queen of the Skies”), these beautifully reworked window sections go through a lengthy process of cutting, shaping, cleaning, sanding, polishing and then powder-coating to produce a stunning piece of airplane art fit to grace any wall.
– Total height of the fuselage section; 1040 mm.
– Width of the fuselage section; 630 mm.
– Distance the clock protrudes from the wall 150 mm.
– Weight approximately 11 Kg.
Three different metalwork finishes are available: a perfect mirror-polish, a rustic mirror-polish and a unique matt polish. To preserve the beauty of the original features we laboriously polish around each individual rivet to preserve its elevation and character.
– Aluminium Boeing 747 body window section.
– Powder coating.
– German made clock mechanisms.
– Bespoke wall handing bracket.
– Designed, built and finished by Plane Industries, in our workshop in Bath, UK.
– The colour of the face and back can be chosen from any colour in the RAL chart.
– To care for your polished aluminium, we suggest keeping it clean with a dry dust cloth.
– Metals will dull and develop a patina over time, nothing a bit of polish and elbow grease wont fix, for more information, feel free to get in touch.
After cutting the fuselage straight form the aircraft we take it to our workshop on a derelict farm in Wiltshire, UK. There we get to work, meticulously cutting, sanding, cleaning and polishing the fuselage section. Hours of work go into the making of each fuselage clock, creating a stunning piece of aviation art.
Once the fuselage has been cut and prepped, we start the powder coating process. We love a splash of colour and have used a huge variety of colours over the years, from standard block colours to metallics and our personal favourites, the candy colours.
Once back in the workshop, each clock goes through the rigorous sanding and polishing process. After finishing that we clean it all up, assemble the face and mechanism, package the clock up and send it on its way, to its new home as a beautiful piece of avaiation furniture.
