Unknown maker
Circa 1920-1960

A specialised pair of vintage clock cutting nippers - an essential tool for clockmakers and horologists.

These precision nippers feature the characteristic design used by clockmakers for cutting wire, pins, and other delicate metalwork involved in clock and watch repair. The forged steel construction and precisely aligned cutting jaws allowed for clean, accurate cuts on small components. The elegant form with rounded handles provided excellent control for delicate horological work.

At 6" (15cm) long and with a cutting edge of 1 1/4" (3cm). Clock and watchmakers required specialised tools that offered precision and control beyond standard workshop nippers. These cutting nippers were designed specifically for the fine metalwork involved in horology, including cutting arbors, pins, and wire to exact lengths. They represent the specialised nature of traditional clockmaking craftsmanship, where dedicated tools were essential for quality work.

Good vintage working condition with honest workshop patina. Forged steel remains solid throughout. Pivot operates smoothly. Cutting edges intact and functional, although thet could certainly do with straighting. Shows genuine use in a clockmaker’s workshop. A characterful specialist tool with history.

Perfect for clockmakers, watchmakers, horological collectors, or as part of a specialist tool collection. An authentic piece of horological heritage showcasing the specialised nature of traditional clockmaking.

All items where appropriate will be sent well packaged, tracked and insured. International buyers are responsible for any import taxes and duties.
Where possible we will combine purchases for shipping. Total weigh approx. 0.3Kg.
