Description
This oval mantel clock pairs a classic Roman dial with a rotating pendulum, all in a metallic gold effect finish. Its plastic case is built as a double oval frame, and between the rings sits a little castle scene of turrets, arched doorways and stepped staircases rising either side of the dial. The dial itself is white with a gold centre, black Roman numerals at the quarters, slim black hands and a gold second hand. Beneath it, the pendulum turns within the lower arch, catching the light with clear faceted drops. The clock stands 25.5cm tall, 20cm wide and 13.5cm deep.
At 25.5cm tall it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, sideboard, bookshelf or dresser without crowding the space, and at 13.5cm deep it suits narrower shelves too. The gold tones sit well in a traditional living room or dining room, and the open frame lets the wall behind show through, which keeps the look airy. It is just as at home on a bedside table or in a study, where the silent movement matters most: there is no tick to keep you awake or break your concentration. The analogue dial is clear to read at a glance from across the room.
Inside is a quartz movement that runs on two AA batteries (MN1500), and both are included, so the clock is ready to set as soon as it arrives. It is freestanding on its own base, so there is no wall fixing to think about. To keep the metallic gold effect finish bright, dust the plastic case with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which could dull the surface. For a balanced mantelpiece, set it at the centre between a pair of candlesticks or framed photographs; and because it comes with its batteries, it makes an easy gift that needs nothing extra.
