Description
This miniature mantel clock takes the shape of a classic camper van, with a bright orange body, a cream roof and a small analogue clock face set right into its side. The bodywork is painted all over in a carefree, flower-filled style: PEACE is lettered in green along the side, LOVE sweeps across the roof beside a rainbow, and peace symbols, flowers, more rainbows and a fluffy cloud are scattered from front to back. Plated bumpers, wheel hubs, grilles and headlamps pick out the details. Made from metal alloy, it stands 4.5cm tall, 10cm wide and 4cm deep, small enough to rest in the palm of your hand.
At that size it sits happily on a bedside table, where its clear face is easy to check first thing in the morning, or on a living room mantelpiece among family keepsakes. It is just as at home on a desk, a bookshelf or a dressing table, bringing a splash of sunny colour to a corner that needs cheering up. We think it makes a fun gift for anyone aged 13 and over, from a teenager brightening up their bedroom to a camper van fan who spends every summer planning the next road trip.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps steady time behind a white dial with clear Arabic numerals and slim black hands, framed in silver. It runs on one LR66 battery, and the battery is included, so the clock is ready to go once you set the time. The van sits freestanding on its four wheels, so it needs no wall and no hook. To keep the paintwork bright, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water. Tuck it into a gift bag for someone who has everything, or keep it on your own bedside for a daily reminder to slow down.
