Know before you buy
This is an authorized reissue produced by Vitra, maintaining the original 1947 design specifications while utilizing modern manufacturing standards.
The clock features a high-quality quartz movement, which typically operates with a very quiet, subtle movement rather than a loud, rhythmic tick.
The clock is designed to be lightweight and includes a mounting mechanism on the back. Due to its unique geometric shape, ensure you use a sturdy wall anchor or nail appropriate for your wall type.
The solid walnut and brass are high-quality materials that benefit from occasional dusting with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the natural finish of the wood and the patina of the brass.
Yes, the clock comes with a standard 1.5v AA battery included, so it is ready to use as soon as you unpack it.
