This modern wall clock is unique in its tall, simplistic design elements and features a large pendulum bob. The metal dial attaches to the top of the tall, rectangular column that houses the pendulum. The suspended metal clock dial has no back, making the metal frame appear to be floating in front of the column. Clock Design: Translucent satin espresso finished wood column with a metal dial finished in aged silver. At the bottom of the wood column is an oversized pendulum bob finished in aged silver that swings through the case cutouts on both sides of the column. Dial Design: The 16.75" metal dial, finished in aged silver, includes suspended Roman numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions and bar hour markers for the remaining positions. The hour and minute hands are attached to the wood column and also have an aged silver finish. Movement: This wall clock has a battery-powered quartz movement which requires two AA batteries (not included).
