Description
This round mantel clock keeps things simple: a matt teal case, a clean dial and two white hands, with nothing to clutter the view. There are no numerals on the face. Instead, long baton markers sit at each hour, with short minute marks running around the edge between them, all set into the dial in the same teal as the case, so the whole face reads as one calm colour. A small gold-tone centre holds the hands, a warm touch against the cool teal. The clock is 15.4cm across and 4.5cm deep, a neat size that is easy to read across a room without taking over a shelf.
It is made to stand: the bottom of the round case is cut flat, so it sits steadily on its own and needs no separate stand or wall fixing. That makes it an easy fit for a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a bedside table or a desk in a home office, and it can move from room to room whenever you fancy a change. Teal sits happily with a wide spread of schemes, from crisp white walls and pale wood to deeper greys and greens, and the plain dial suits a pared-back modern room as well as a softer, more lived-in one.
The case and dial share a smooth matt finish, so there is no shine to catch the light, and the white hands stand out clearly against the teal. It runs on one AA battery, which fits into the movement on the back, so there are no wires to hide and you can place it wherever suits you. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. We think it makes a practical, easy gift for someone who likes a tidy, uncluttered home, and a quiet upgrade for your own mantelpiece too.

What battery does the clock take?
The clock runs on a single AA battery, which fits into the movement on the back of the case.

There are no numerals at all. The dial uses long baton markers at each hour and short minute marks around the edge, read with two white hands.

The case and dial are both a matt teal. The hands are white, and a small gold-tone centre adds a warm touch.
How should I look after the clock?
Dust it gently now and then with a soft dry cloth to keep the matt teal finish looking clean and fresh.
