The Timekeeper

The Les Leston Timekeeper Bog Oak wooden gear knob is handcrafted in England from genuine ancient bog oak and individually turned on a traditional wood lathe. Finished and polished by hand, each round gear knob showcases the rich, dark tones and distinctive natural grain of this rare timber, making every piece unique.

Preserved naturally for thousands of years, bog oak is a remarkable material steeped in history and character. The Timekeeper celebrates this connection to the past, combining ancient timber with traditional British craftsmanship and classic motoring heritage.

Designed for classic sports cars, GT cars and historic racing vehicles, this round wooden gear knob provides a timeless, period-correct finish for both wooden and leather-trimmed interiors. Available with a range of thread sizes to suit classic British, European and American vehicles including Porsche, Jaguar, Aston Martin, AC, MG, Triumph, Lotus, Austin Healey, Morgan, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Shelby Cobra, Corvette and Ford Mustang.
