What customers say
This San Antonio Skyline Clock receives strong praise centered on its exceptional visual appeal and powerful backlighting. Buyers are clearly drawn to the detailed skyline graphic, viewing it as a beautiful tribute to the city, often purchased out of local pride or nostalgia. The illumination feature is consistently highlighted, transforming the clock into vibrant wall art perfect for dimly lit rooms. While its decorative statement quality is highly valued, some users note minor concerns regarding the long term accuracy of the internal timekeeping mechanism. Ultimately, the clock is celebrated primarily for its striking design and collectible aesthetic rather than its precision as a functional timepiece.
Know before you buy
The clock movement runs on a single AA battery, allowing it to keep time even if the light is off. The backlight requires a connection to a standard 110V wall outlet and is controlled by an integrated on/off switch.
The clock features a scratch-resistant, non-yellowing optical Lexan lens. This material is chosen for its durability and clarity, offering a high-quality look that is more shatter-resistant than traditional glass.
The clock uses a fluorescent bulb to provide bright, even illumination across the entire face. It is designed to serve as both a functional timepiece and an ambient light source, similar to classic 1950s-style advertising clocks.
The clock utilizes a quartz movement, which is generally very quiet. While there may be a faint mechanical sound in a completely silent room, it is not typically loud enough to be distracting.
The clock has a total depth of 4 inches. You should account for this profile if you are planning to hang it in a high-traffic hallway or a tight space.
Beyond replacing the AA battery for the quartz movement periodically, the clock requires very little maintenance. The ABS plastic housing and Lexan lens are durable and can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth.
