What customers say
Customer sentiment overwhelmingly praises this clock for its powerful nostalgic appeal and unique aesthetic design. Reviewers consider it functional art, celebrating the illuminated patent schematic as a perfect centerpiece for any gaming space or office. The high visual impact and conversation starting quality are frequently highlighted. While the design concept earns near perfect marks, minor critiques focus on the clock mechanism, which some find slightly inexpensive or audible. A few users also noted minor concerns about long term LED consistency. Despite these small functional observations, the strong emotional connection and exceptional retro charm ensure overall satisfaction remains very high for enthusiasts.
Know before you buy
Yes, the LED illumination requires a connection to a wall outlet. The power cord features a convenient on/off switch so you can control the lighting independently of the clock movement.
No, the quartz clock movement is battery-operated and requires a single AA battery. This ensures the clock keeps accurate time even if the LED backlight is switched off or unplugged.
The lens is made from optical Lexan, a high-grade polycarbonate that is significantly more impact-resistant than glass. It is also scratch-resistant and specifically treated to prevent yellowing over time.
While the durable ABS plastic housing is sturdy, this clock is designed specifically for indoor display. It is best suited for climate-controlled environments like a game room, office, or bedroom.
The clock measures approximately 14 inches by 14 inches. Its square profile makes it a substantial wall piece that works well as a focal point in a gaming-themed space.
