Know before you buy
The Arne Jacobsen Station Wall Clock features a traditional quartz ticking movement. It is not a silent sweep clock, so you will hear a subtle ticking sound.
The clock is battery-operated and requires 2 AA batteries to function. These batteries power both the analog clock movement and the integrated alarm and LED light features.
With a diameter of 4.3 inches and a depth of 4.7 inches, this clock is compact and designed specifically for tabletop use, such as a nightstand or desk, rather than for wall mounting.
No, the LED light is designed for temporary illumination to help you check the time in the dark. It is not intended to function as a constant nightlight.
The clock is built for durability using impact-resistant hardened glass for the face, a sturdy polymer housing, and a solid stainless steel base for stability.
