Know before you buy
This clock operates on a standard quartz movement, which typically requires one AA battery. Please note that batteries are generally not included with the purchase.
The clock features a blackened steel dial with satin silver markers and aged silver hands. While the contrast between the silver elements and the dark dial provides good visibility, it does not have luminous hands for nighttime viewing.
As this model uses a standard quartz movement, you may hear a faint ticking sound in a very quiet room. It is designed for mantel or shelf placement rather than a bedside table where absolute silence is required.
The Fortin Accent Clock measures 8.75 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 8.75 inches high. It weighs 3.25 pounds, providing a sturdy feel that sits securely on most shelves or mantels.
The ash veneer is a natural wood finish. To keep it looking its best, simply dust it periodically with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or placing it in direct, prolonged sunlight.
