Victorian Style Atomic Desk Clock

Victorian-era tradition meets contemporary technology in this handsome wooden clock that receives time signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock. It never needs winding and will always be precise.

Uses 1 AA battery (not included)
Cherrywood and brass
7"W x 12"H x 3 3/4"D
Signal strength is irregular outside the contiguous 48 states. Clock can be set manually when in use outside of the US Atomic Clock coverage area.

This clock style emerged in 1830s England, when steam-bent wood became popular. Hallmarks of this style are pineapple finials (a symbol of hospitality) and brass feet.

Another unique historical detail—that you can also look for on town and church steeple clocks—is the use of the numeral "IIII" for four, instead of the more commonly used "IV." This was done to balance the "VIII" of the numeral eight on the other side of the face.
