Quick time checks across a room are straightforward, ideal for kitchens, living rooms or a home office. Large, clear numerals reduce the need to lean in to read the time.

A polished retro look - with matt acrylic arch-top design

Adds a subtle mid-century flourish without dominating a shelf or mantelpiece. Works well with both modern and vintage interiors for a cohesive look.

Simple, reliable timekeeping - with quartz step movement

Quartz step movement uses a regulated quartz crystal oscillator to advance the hands in precise increments, producing a faint ticking sound. Power comes from a single AA alkaline battery.
