Know before you buy
A Living Finish is an unlacquered brass surface that reacts naturally to the environment. Over time, the clock will develop a unique, darkened patina rather than staying bright and shiny, which is a characteristic of high-quality solid brass.
Yes, the Jeffersonian Clock is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its solid brass construction is built to withstand the elements and will not peel, flake, or rust, making it suitable for mounting on walls, trellises, or fences.
The clock features a 15-inch face with large, clear numerals. The design prioritizes readability, making it easy to check the time from across a garden or a large room.
No special maintenance is required. Because the brass is designed to age naturally, you do not need to apply protective coatings or polishes; simply allow the patina to evolve as the clock is exposed to the air.
The clock is equipped with a high-quality, accurate movement designed for long-term reliability. While it is built for durability, it is always best to ensure it is mounted securely to protect it from extreme wind or direct impact.
