Leisure, Tourism and Sport
Historically we have developed time systems for national and international sports events including football stadiums, Equestrian cross-country and carriage driving, motor rallying and cycling events and many more bespoke digital time displays for public sector facilities like leisure centres, swimming pools and gymnasiums.
Wharton Electronics’ history of developing digital sports clocks and electronic stopwatches dates back to 1975 with the company developing the first authorised digital stopwatch for motor racing, now situated in the Brooklands Museum.

Time Systems for Sports Stadiums and Centres
Wharton Electronics have delivered bespoke digital wall clocks for various high-profile sports stadiums across the UK.
Our range of IP65 digital clocks have robust weather resistant, corrosion-resistant enclosures with pole and surface mounting options. These sports clocks perform well in outdoor applications and all weather conditions, offering plenty of remote functionalities like stopwatch controls, temperature monitoring, countdown timers and display alternation.
Gym Clocks and Leisure Centre Clocks
All LED digital clocks come in a wide range of display configurations. These make ideal clocks for commercial gyms and leisure centres as well as large public spaces. Every digital clock can operate as a standalone programmable 12 or 24-hour clock or work in unison with multi-option stopwatch functions or countdown clock timers. Time and temperature (sensor required) controls are flexible as desired.
Tourism Clocks – the Wharton Control Unit
Wharton Electronics manufactures different LED clock designs for both indoor and outdoor units, many of which are available with Power over Ethernet (PoE) supply.
These complete time synchronisation solutions work for both standard and complex public network applications with NTP time servers synced with GPS and GLONASS receivers if required.
The clocks provide automatic seasonal time changes and pre-configured time zone offsets for displaying the time in different areas of interest.
