While it is perfectly sized for a desk or shelf, it is also designed to be wall-mountable, giving you flexibility in how you display it.
The clock features a standard analog display, but because it is a novelty-shaped piece, the focus is more on the artistic design than high-contrast readability. It is best suited for close-range viewing on a desk or shelf.
To preserve the hand-painted details, simply dust the clock gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
No, this clock is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperature fluctuations may damage the sculpted material and the hand-painted finish.
