Description
The Isosceles is a triangular mantel clock in polished nickel with a curved glass front, brass fittings and Roman numerals on a white dial. The case measures 14.5cm wide, 8cm deep and 19.5cm tall, with a triangular footprint that sits on three small brass feet. A polished brass handle sits at the apex of the triangle, styled after a traditional carriage clock grip.
Designed for mantelpieces, desks, shelves and bedside tables where its compact footprint suits narrow surfaces, the clock works as a functional timepiece in home offices, living rooms and bedrooms. The curved glass front gives a slightly magnified view of the dial and reduces glare under desk lighting. The polished nickel body reflects ambient light without the high contrast of chrome, making it pair comfortably with both warm and cool-toned interiors.
The clock runs on a single AA battery (sold separately) through a standard quartz movement mechanism accessed via a panel on the rear of the case. The Roman numeral dial uses black printed numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 positions with simple hash marks between, keeping the face legible at a glance. The brass centre pin holding the hands and the brass fittings at the feet and handle contrast with the cooler nickel body, adding warmth to the overall finish.

Frequently Asked
What battery does it take?
The clock runs on a single AA battery (not included) through a quartz movement. Battery life depends on the brand and type used but typically lasts 12-18 months before needing replacement.
How is the time set?
A dial or wheel on the rear panel allows the hands to be moved forward to set the correct time. The mechanism does not support backwards adjustment, so always turn the hands clockwise to avoid damaging the movement.
Can the glass front be cleaned?
Yes. Wipe the curved glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth. For fingerprints or marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the glass as it may seep into the case and damage the dial.
Does it tick audibly?
Most quartz movements produce a soft tick with each second. The Isosceles uses a standard quartz mechanism, so expect a quiet but audible tick in silent rooms. If silence is critical for bedside use, consider placing it on a shelf rather than a hard surface that amplifies the sound.
