The project called for a centrepiece feature — the now-iconic “Buckles Clock”, a bold design element that gives the building instant character while reinforcing the firm’s brand identity.

The main wall sign features a folded stainless-steel tray, measuring 915mm by 3050mm, with a mains-operated clock mechanism built into the panel. To make it as practical as it is eye-catching, the clock was fitted with a remote-control system that automatically adjusts between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.

“It’s always a bit nerve-racking with something as visible as a working clock,” recalls Dave Hitch, franchisee at Signs Express Peterborough. “We were all watching closely to see if the time would adjust itself on the changeover — thankfully, it did, right on cue.”

The face of the clock was completed with the Buckles logo, digitally printed in full colour onto MD5 vinyl, finished with a matt laminate, and paired with precision computer-cut vinyl lettering. The result? A smart, professional finish that perfectly matches the tone of the Buckles brand.

Throughout the project, the team at Buckles Solicitors worked closely with us to ensure every detail reflected their corporate image and the professional tone of their new premises.

From the initial concept to final installation, our Peterborough team handled everything in-house — including fabrication, digital printing, and precision fitting. Working at height and in a busy city-centre environment required careful coordination, but the results were worth it: a timeless, high-impact signage scheme that captures both elegance and functionality.
