Description
This miniature mantel clock is shaped like a classic four wheel drive, with a muted green body, a pale grey ribbed canopy and bright silver trim. The clock sits in the cab door: a white analogue dial marked with Roman numerals, framed in silver and read by slim hands. The detail rewards a closer look, from the spare wheel resting on the bonnet to the silver bumper, the grille and headlamps, and the steering wheel you can spot through the open side window. Made from metal alloy, it stands 4.3cm tall, 9.5cm wide and 4.1cm deep, a small clock with plenty of character.
Its compact size makes it easy to place. It sits neatly on a bedside table, where the clear Roman dial is simple to read first thing, or on a living room mantelpiece among photographs and keepsakes. It suits a desk or a study shelf just as well, bringing a little of the spirit of country lanes to a working day. At 9.5cm wide it fits a narrow windowsill or the end of a bookshelf, and it stands steadily on its four wheels with no wall fixing needed. As a gift, it is the kind of piece that is glanced at and smiled at every day.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps steady time, powered by one LR66 battery, which is included, so the clock is ready to set as soon as it is unboxed. The body is metal alloy with a plated finish, and the bright trim catches the light on a sunny shelf. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Set it beside a stack of motoring books or a framed country print, and it settles in as though it has always been parked there.
