Description
This round ceramic mantel clock brings a soft wash of pink to a mantelpiece, desk or shelf, finished in a glossy glaze that catches the light. The face sits inside a deep stepped rim, with raised marks at twelve, three, six and nine instead of printed numbers, so it reads cleanly at a glance. Slim gold hour and minute hands and a fine gold second hand stand out against the pink, and the whole clock rests on two angled feet. It measures 13.5cm tall, 12.1cm wide and 4.1cm deep, a compact size that fits a narrow ledge without crowding it.
Because it stands on its own feet, it needs no wall and no hook, so it can move from room to room as you need it. We like it on a bedside table, where the small face keeps the time without taking over, or on a home office desk beside a lamp and a pot of pens. On a mantelpiece it gives a row of cards or photographs a neat centre, and in a hallway or on a bookshelf it adds a gentle note of colour. The pink sits happily with white, grey, soft green and natural wood, and brings warmth to a cool, pale scheme.
The body is ceramic with a gloss finish, and the quartz movement at the back runs on one AA battery, so a single standard battery is all it takes to set it going. Fit the battery, set the hands and stand it on a flat, steady surface. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe the glaze with a lightly damp cloth when it needs more, keeping water away from the movement. It is an easy gift to give, and it sits well alongside brass, gold or pale wood on the same shelf.
