Pursuant to Pappy's "feature photo" on the main page http://www.telechron.net/main.htm, I found that the movie is officially titled "Behind Office Doors".

The IMDB info can be found here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021649/

Yes... it is a brutal film, but the beloved Telechron wall clock, sans second hand, shows up at 40:04...

(now I'm doing the "sans" thing... who started that?... ?-?)

Did you have to buy it?  About ten years ago I had to special order it.  What a disappointment!   <:[

Yet another 1F312 in LA Confidential.  Ironically Guy Pearce's character imagines the Telechron is off by checking it against his Rolex.  What a silly thing!   Despite that little gaffe, LA Confidential is a real favorite of mine.  If you haven't seen it, go get it right away.  You can thank me later.

Trailer.

I asked the question of the seller and he has confirmed that my clock came from the 20th Century Props Auction and that they supplied those clocks as a set props for the Post Grad movie.  Indeed it is the very same clock....

Very sad story behind the demise of 20th Centuary Props though.  Heartbreaking for Harvey.
http://www.screenhead.com/reviews/20th-century-props-closing-due-to-rapidly-changing-hollywood/

Here's where it gets weird....

- I was in LA last week and had an hour to spare before our flight.
- Googled "Art Deco LA" and came up with "Harvey's on Beverly"
- It's close to our hotel so we head down there for a look.
- It's a fantastic place and we get a guided tour by Harvey Schwartz who turns out to be an absolute gentleman and the owner.
- Get talking about stuff and i compliment him on some of the Telechrons, Lawsons, Hammonds & Jeffersons he has on display.
- He asks if I'm a clock guy. I tell him "a little" and go on to tell him about my favourite green 700 which i purchased from someone in LA (see above).
- Without missing a beat Harvey says "yeah - I remember that one well". "I was 20th Centuary Props".  FMD - i'm talking to the guy who i bought this clock from how many years ago on eBay?...
- How many planets aligned for this to occur?
- Small world but a really cool thing to happen :)

I'm not 100 percent certain, but it looks like a Telechron.

Authentic and certainly-for-real-and-not-fake Area 51 Alien Autopsy video, see at end of article linked here.

I was watching Andy Griffin one night about a month ago and thought I saw a few familiar looking clocks but not 100% sure . (I was to lazy to post about it.)

Season 8 episode 27 At the very beginning.

You could be right. Looks like a 7H160 Heralder on the top shelf with a 2H11 Cafe and a Seth Thomas Poise on the shelf right below it.

Are you talking about that gaudy gold thing on the wall or the round commercial clock below it?

The gold one does look a bit like the very rare 2H56 Marseilles, but the case shape is different.

I noticed the commercial clock near the start of the episode, but couldn't make out any identifying features.

It's the one on the wall that looks sorta like a Hostess....  I'm not sure but it caught my attention.

 It's shaped like a bottle cap anyway.  :.D

I missed that one! I went back and looked, and I think it is a Hostess. That's the only clock I know of shaped like a bottle cap.

Not really a movie but....  Is this a 2B02?  This is from Disneyworld's Carousel of Progress.  The whole thing was sponsored by GE (note the fridge and stove).  Need a better pic...   |-&
