It’s the final countdown.
Tick-tock, you paying attention? Because this clock is all about the subtle details: The way the minute hand lines up with the hour markers to create a clean, unbroken line at just the right moment, the way those hour markers are part of the steel frame itself, holding the wood panel in. It’s really, simply, gorgeous design. Also good to know: The minute hand ticks with quiet efficiency, keeping it background noise.

Gorgeous and functional
I purchased this to place in view of my backdoor so I can glance inside at the time while I'm hanging out in my backyard. Looks beautiful and is easy to spot the time from a distance.
Great Contemporary Design
We were looking for a simple design for our kitchen. A keeper.
Do be aware that the black clock has a dark walnut wood – darker than the images may suggest depending on the screen you view it on.
