Description
This keyhole wooden wall clock pairs a Roman numeral dial with a small thermometer and hygrometer gauge set beneath it, so one piece tells you the time, the temperature and the humidity. The wood case has a deep reddish brown gloss finish, rounded at the top around the clock face and narrowing to a smaller circle for the gauge. Each dial is ringed by a gold-tone bezel. The clock face is white at the edge and cream at the centre, with bold black Roman numerals and black hands, while the gauge reads temperature in degrees Celsius and humidity as a percentage. It measures 40cm high, 27cm wide and 4.5cm deep.
At 40cm tall it has presence on a hallway, landing, study or sitting room wall, and at 27cm wide it fits a chimney breast or the gap between two doorways. Its 4.5cm depth keeps it close to the wall in a busy passageway. The Roman dial and dark wood suit a classic room with period furniture or bookshelves, and it sits just as happily in a country kitchen. With the humidity reading on show, it is handy wherever you keep books, instruments or houseplants and like to know how dry the air is.
Inside is a quartz movement that runs on one AA battery (MN1500), which is not included, so pick one up with the clock. It hangs on a wall hook, so you need only a hook fixed at the height you want. To keep the gloss finish bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe the bezels with a barely damp cloth when they need it, drying them afterwards. We like it hung at eye level in the hall, where everyone passing can glance at the time and the reading beneath, set against a pale wall so the rich brown wood and gold tones show at their best.

Frequently Asked
How big is this wall clock?
It measures 40cm high, 27cm wide and 4.5cm deep, so it sits close to the wall and suits a hallway, study or sitting room.
What battery does the clock need?
The quartz movement takes one AA battery (MN1500). The battery is not included, so it is worth having one ready to fit when you hang the clock.
What does the smaller dial show?
The smaller dial beneath the clock face is a combined thermometer and hygrometer, showing the temperature in degrees Celsius and the humidity as a percentage.
How does the clock hang on the wall?
It hangs on a wall hook, so a single hook fixed securely at the height you want is all it needs to go up.
What is the clock made of?
The case is wood with a glossy, deep reddish brown finish, and both the clock face and the gauge are framed by gold-tone bezels.
How do I look after the gloss finish?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth, and wipe the bezels with a barely damp cloth when needed, drying them afterwards to keep the gloss bright.
