Description
This miniature mantel clock takes the form of a classic red motorbike, with its quartz clock face set into the side of the engine. The body is metal alloy, with the fuel tank and the deep, sweeping mudguards finished in glossy red, and the engine, forks, handlebars, exhaust and spoked wheels in bright silver-tone plating. A black seat and black tyres complete the look, and a small winged emblem sits on the tank. It is a compact piece, 6cm high, 11cm wide and 4cm deep, small enough for the narrowest shelf.
As a mantel clock, it is made to stand rather than hang, resting on its two wheels and a slim side stand, so it needs no wall and no fixings. It suits a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a desk at home or in the office, and its small size means it never crowds the things around it. The analogue face carries Roman numerals and slim hands, clear enough to read at a glance from across a desk. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone aged thirteen and over with a soft spot for motorbikes, whether they ride every weekend or simply admire a good-looking bike.
Inside is a quartz movement that runs on one LR66 button cell battery, and the battery is included, so the clock is ready to set and run as soon as it is unpacked. The model is full of fine detail, from the engine fins to the wheel spokes, so the best care is a light dusting with a soft dry cloth or a small soft brush, keeping harsh cleaners away from the red and silver finishes. Set it beside a few favourite books or a framed photograph on a shelf, or wrap it for someone who will enjoy a working clock and a little model in one.
