What customers say
Customer feedback overwhelmingly praises the Elgin Mid Century Wall Clock for its exceptional aesthetic appeal and strong nostalgic value. Reviewers consistently call it a statement piece that perfectly captures iconic mid-century modern design. Its size is frequently noted as ideal, making it noticeable without dominating the space. While the visual quality earns high marks, a small number of users report minor nuances regarding timekeeping accuracy or movement noise, especially in reproduction models.

For design enthusiasts, the powerful visual impact far outweighs any minor functional imperfections, solidifying its status as a beloved centerpiece.
Know before you buy
This clock features a brand-new, battery-operated quartz movement. While the exterior maintains its vintage Mid Century aesthetic, the internal mechanism has been replaced to ensure reliable, modern timekeeping.
The clock has a 24-inch diameter, which is quite substantial. It is designed to be a statement piece, so it works best on large, open wall spaces where its sunburst design can serve as a focal point.
The clock is constructed from a blend of metal and wood, giving it a solid feel, but it is designed for standard wall mounting. It comes with an integrated back hanger, so you only need a sturdy nail or wall hook to secure it.
No, this clock is designed strictly for indoor use. Exposure to humidity, temperature fluctuations, or direct elements outdoors could damage the wood and metal finishes.
Because it uses a modern quartz movement, the ticking is generally very quiet and unobtrusive compared to older mechanical clocks. It is suitable for most living areas, including bedrooms or home offices.
