Dark and dramatic, this handsome wooden mantel clock makes a subtle yet unforgettable mark on the room. From its deep hue to its undulating curves, it's as much a statement piece as it is a timepiece. It promises to endure for decades, with its solid construction and premium materials. Set atop the mantel, it presides over the room with a sense of understated grace and elegance. Dramatic Beauty: A rich shade of Black Coffee sets this tambour-style clock apart from the rest. At the base are nickel-finished metal feet to safeguard the bottom, while the sharp white dial is finished with nickel-finished Arabic numerals that are raised and embossed for a more striking appearance. The minute and hour hands, along with the bezel, are also finished in nickel, while a black minute track provides a subtle contrast. The dial features a convex glass crystal for protection. Timely Operation: The single-chime movement plays Westminster chime and counts every hour. It shuts off automatically between 10:01 pm and 5:59 am. Quartz Movement: Quartz/Westminster, battery-operated movement requires three AA batteries. Howard Miller: Founded in 1926 and still family-owned in its third generation, Howard Miller is the world's leading clock company and a respected brand name in fine specialty furnishings such as curio cabinets, wine & bar furnishings, custom storage cabinets, and SmartMoves® adjustable height desks.
