Barbecue Miniature Mantel Clock with Wheels - Black & Silver

This miniature mantel clock is a little barbecue grill on wheels, finished in glossy black and silver and small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. The domed black lid lifts up to show a clean white dial set in a silver frame, with clear numerals at twelve, three, six and nine and slim silver hands. Close the lid and it becomes a tiny grill again. It has a handle across the top, a side shelf at one end and a rail handle at the other, a lower shelf between the legs and four black wheels. It stands 5.5cm high, 7.2cm wide and 4cm deep.

Because it is so compact, we like it in spots where a full-size clock never could go: the end of a mantelpiece, a narrow bookshelf, a bedside table or the corner of a desk. The grill shape brings a sense of humour to a room without taking over. Being so small, it sits happily among books, photo frames and other small treasures. It makes a cheerful gift with a little wit to it, a clock that earns a smile every time someone lifts the lid to check the hour.

The clock runs on one LR66 battery, and the battery is included, so it is ready to set from the box. The glossy black body and lid sit on a bright silver frame, with screw details picked out on the shelves and wheels that add to the model's character. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Stand it with the lid open so the dial faces the room. Or leave it closed on a shelf as a playful ornament and open it whenever you want the time.
