Arched Glass Panel Mantel Clock with Aluminium Base - Black

This arched mantel clock pairs a black glass panel with an aluminium base, giving a mantelpiece or shelf a clean, modern way to keep time. The glass rises in a gentle arch, its clear bevelled edge catching the light around a deep black centre, and a round silver bezel frames the dial near the top. Inside it sits a silver-toned face with black Roman numerals and slim black hands, easy to read at a glance across the room. The clock stands 17.4cm tall, a comfortable height for a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a bedside table without crowding the things around it.

Its curved outline and black and silver colouring sit happily in a modern living room, a study or a hallway, and work alongside warm wood as easily as cool grey. On a desk it keeps the hours in view through the working day, and on a bedroom chest of drawers it gives a clear, simple face to check first thing in the morning. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates a well-made clock that earns its place and stays there.

The analogue dial runs on a quartz movement powered by one AA battery, also known as MN1500, which is not included, so keep one to hand for setting it up. The battery fits into a covered compartment on the back, and the clock stands freely on its aluminium base, so there is no need for a hook, a nail or a drill. To keep the glass bright, wipe it with a soft cloth, lightly damp if needed, and dust the base and bezel with a soft dry cloth. Set it at the centre of a mantelpiece between a pair of candlesticks, or wrap it as a gift alongside a fresh AA battery so it is ready to run from the moment it is unwrapped.
