Description
This miniature mantel clock takes the shape of a sporty steering wheel, made in metal with a bright chrome plated finish. The round rim carries two glossy black dimpled grips, one on each side where your hands would rest on a real wheel, and three polished spokes run in to the centre, each pierced with a row of round holes like a classic racing wheel. At the hub sits a white analogue dial with Arabic numerals, slim hands and a fine second hand. It stands 6.5cm tall, measures 6.5cm across and is 3.5cm deep, so it fits the smallest of spaces.
Because it is so compact, it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a desk, keeping time without taking over the surface. It suits a study or a home office where a full-size clock would crowd the space, and it is just as at home on a shelf in a living room or a bedroom. The motoring design brings a cheerful note to a room, and the clear dial means it is a working clock first and a talking point second. Being freestanding, it needs no wall fixing, so it can move from room to room as you like.
The clock runs on a quartz movement powered by one LR66 battery, which is included, so it is ready to set and use. At the back, a plain round metal cover closes the case and a slim metal foot holds the wheel upright on any flat surface. To keep the chrome bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and steer clear of abrasive cleaners, which can dull a plated finish. Set it on a desk beside a diary or a pen pot, or wrap it as a small gift with plenty of character for anyone's shelf.
