Description
This miniature mantel clock gathers a toolbox's worth of tiny tools around a small round dial, all in shiny silver metal. An adjustable spanner and a claw hammer cross at the back, a pair of pliers with bright red handles and a screwdriver with a yellow handle tuck in beside them, and a black bolt rises through the front with its nut screwed down. The white dial carries clear Arabic numerals from 1 to 12 with slim black hands, set in a polished silver case, and the whole piece sits on a flat base with a textured surface like tread plate. It stands 7.2cm tall, 7.1cm wide and 4.3cm deep, so it fits in the palm of your hand.
At that size it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a bedside table or a desk, where a full-size clock would crowd the space. It suits a study, a home office or a hobby room just as well as a living room. Because it is finished all the way round, it can stand where it is seen from every side rather than only against a wall. The tools give it a playful character that tends to start a conversation, and the dial stays clear enough to read from a chair at the desk.
The clock runs on a quartz movement powered by one LR66 battery, which comes with it, so it is ready to set and stand as soon as it is unpacked. It is freestanding, so it needs no wall, nail or fixings. The metal has a shiny finish. Dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water so the silver stays bright. Set it beside a few books or a small plant on a shelf, or wrap it as a cheerful little gift that will stay on show long after the paper comes off.
