Description
This miniature mantel clock takes the form of a traditional pedal bike, with the clock face set into the front wheel. The frame is finished in black, with silver-toned plating picking out the spokes, rear rack, handlebars and pedal cranks, while a brown saddle and brown grips add a warm contrast. The white dial carries clear Arabic numerals and slim hands, so the time reads at a glance. Made from metal alloy, it stands 5.9cm high, 10.2cm wide and 4.2cm deep, a little piece that fits on the narrowest of shelves.
Because it is so compact, it suits the spots a full-size clock cannot reach: a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a desk at home or in the office, or a bedside table where space is tight. It stands upright on its own wheels, so it needs no wall and no fixings, and you can move it from room to room whenever you like. We think it brings a touch of character to a study or a hallway shelf, and it sits happily alongside books and other small favourites.
Inside is a quartz movement that runs on one LR66 battery, and the battery is included, so the clock is ready to keep time as soon as you have set it. The plated details catch the light against the black frame and give the whole piece a cheerful, old-fashioned look. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, working gently around the spokes and the rack, and avoid harsh cleaners on the plated parts. It makes a charming gift, and we like it best on a mantelpiece or desk where it can be seen every day.
