Description
This arched mantel clock pairs a gold aluminium case with a clear Roman numeral dial and a small thermometer set beneath it. The rounded top and flat plinth base give it the familiar outline of a traditional mantel clock, while the gold finish catches the light on a shelf or sideboard. Black hands sweep across a gold face alongside a slim gold second hand, and the round thermometer gauge reads the temperature in degrees Celsius. It stands 14cm tall, 11cm wide and 5cm deep, so it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, bedside table or desk without crowding it.
A quartz movement keeps the time, and the beep alarm makes it as useful on a bedside table as on the mantelpiece in a living room or study. Because it runs on a battery rather than mains power, there is no cable to hide, so you can place it wherever it looks best: a hallway console, a home office shelf or a guest bedroom. The thermometer is a practical extra for anyone who likes to keep an eye on how warm a room is, and the Roman numerals keep the look classic in both period and modern rooms.
It takes one AA battery (MN1500), which is not included, so keep one to hand when you set it up; the time and alarm are set from the knobs on the back. The alarm is a beep with no snooze, which suits anyone who prefers to get straight up. The aluminium case has a plated gold finish, brushed on the face panel and the back, with a polished frame around the arch. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners on the plated surfaces. Set it on a mantelpiece beside candlesticks or framed photographs, or wrap it as a thoughtful gift for someone who likes a proper clock on the shelf.
