Is this an aircraft or car clock?

Here is the clock I mentioned.

My understanding is that it was from a British WWI aircraft, though clearly of Continental origin – ‘Aviation Militaire’ etc.

The four fixings are on a 91mm Pitch Circle Diameter.

It seems to be a conversion of a standard pocket watch movement.

Although, as far as I know, they were around during WW1 they were more common on aircraft of the inter war period. Alot of WW1 British aircraft used watches in holders as apposed to clocks. Nothing wrong with it being rim wound.

Thanks for your replies, when I originally bought it, it was sold to me as a WW1 aircraft clock but now on reflection I have my reservations. Perhaps I thought it was a British MK1 clock but subsequently looking at some pictures its obviously quite not the same. There is no inscription on the clock other than 8 Days. Its also rim wound.

I’d go for an aircraft clock from WWI vintage.

I have one one from a Spad. I will photograph and post it later, not the same as this, but it has the same general feel to it.

Ooh, not so sure about that. Looks very much like 8 Day clocks used by the RFC, RNAS & RAF during and after the 1914-18 conflict.

Who needs these new fangled stopwatch thingies eh?

My hunch would be car, or possibly even marine clock, but are there any markings on it at all?

Another shot.
