I think you are on the right track with making a mold of the undamaged portion. If you did that with a flexible material (silicone or latex) then made the repair with a two-part epoxy, I think that would work. Look on Amazon or at Lowe's/Home Depot for the materials and be sure to follow the directions carefully. I bet you can get that fixed in no time! (By the way, what a deal!)
What about some black electrical tape?
This is plastic. It is probably not work fixing. You could place the works inside another clock box, or if you can hang it so it is not seen (the break is on the bottom is that correct?) just use a good strong tape like duct tape, matching the color as much as possible and cover up the break so dirt does not get in.
How about
I would take the back off, lift the face and the workings, then transfer those to an oval frame. You won't lose the character of the clock that you like, while putting it into a more durable mount.
I say duct tape...then paint the brown color.
I would hot glue some pretty silk flowers in and around the cracked area, and maybe one flower opposite that area. I would probably paint the whole frame anyway, because it doesn’t look like real wood anyway. ☺️
Take it apart and rotate the frame so the broken part is at the top, hang it up and drape a garland over the top.
hope it works
thank you! i bought a huge metal clock with a beautiful face i did not secure it correctly, it fell and cracked Your idea was Great i turn the frame around and put a dainty spray of flowers where it broke Beautiful you saved my clock and it looks great!
My first though would be to cover it by wrapping in twine. You could also take the frame off, put tape on the inside and layer glue or plaster of paris, putty or something to fill in the gaps and harden. You can then leave the tape on the inside or remove it and repaint the frame.
