ALL PEQUEGNAT CLOCKS WERE 100% MADE IN CANADA - PROUDLY WAVE THE FLAG!

The history of Arthur's company can be found in the Canadian Makers section of our web site.

All known movements were made in his factory.  During the first twenty years, the wood cases were produced for him in the nearby furniture factories.  He bulit his own case factory in the mid 1920s.

Our museum has an almost complete set of the roughly ninety catalogued models of mantel, wall, and hall (grandfather) clocks produced by The Arthur Pequegnat Clock Company in Berlin / 1916 / Kitchener, Ontario between 1904 and about 1941. The brass shortage caused by WWII forced the clock factory to close around 1941.

The company also sold complete movements - everything you needed except the wood case - so that people could build their own clocks.  Apparently some did.  There are a couple of unusual examples of these in our Pequegnat collection.

The same as for most wood furniture way back then, the cases were usually made with oak wood.  However, in the company catalogues both walnut and mahogany were upgrade options available at extra cost.  The museum's collection includes several examples with these two woods.

For the many tambour ("napolean's hat") models produced during the 1920s and 1930s, examples are found with two different dial sizes.  The company catalogue showed only one size for a given model.  Was a different dial size a customer option?

In addition to pictures of the clocks below, there are some closeups of typical movements, dials, and labels.  More will be added as time permits.

We welcome requests for information about YOUR Pequegnat clock, whether inherited or found.
