For more than 10 years, National Geographic's TOPO! map software has been a top choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Now we're able to use these seamless USGS topographic maps to create home decor featuring maps of your favorite places. Provide any U.S. address and artisans in New England will screen-print a local map on rustic, tumbled marble to create an analog clock.
The map will show topographical information covering nine square miles including your chosen location, with some main streets and major landmarks. A small compass rose will indicate your chosen location and the address you provide will be featured on the personalized map legend. See the images above for examples of maps featuring both rural and suburban areas. Comes ready to hang, or use our forged-steel easel (sold separately) to display the clock as a desk accessory.
Please note: Personalized items cannot be returned unless damaged or defective. Please check your order carefully; once placed, your order for this item cannot be canceled. Not available for shipment outside of the U.S. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.
One AA battery, not included. 8" square.
Our rustic tiles are carved from large marble blocks, ensuring that no two stones will ever be exactly alike. Then the pieces are tumbled to give them character that can be seen on every surface, edge, and corner. The result is a one-of-a-kind keepsake with more personality that would be possible from a piece of manufactured ceramic. Please see additional images for an example of a tumbled marble tile.

I received the topographical map clock as a Christmas present from my husband. I grew up on a large farm and he chose the farm address of my childhood home. Unfortunately, the name of the small town was misspelled! I am good with computer graphics, so I was able to remove the incorrect name with an ink eraser and replace it with the right spelling using my own Print Shop program and clear label. Not everyone would be able to do that. My husband was so disappointed that the town had been misspelled that he wanted to return it but I told him I thought I could fix it. It took a while for me to correct the mistake because matching the alignment and font exactly was tedious work. The label had also been placed on the clock crooked. When I corrected the spelling, I straightened the label. It is a lovely clock and a thoughtful gift unique to my personal sense of place, but I got the impression the good folks at NatGeo were in too much of a hurry during the Christmas rush with misspellings and crooked labels. Slow down. Get it right. Please. I recommend this gift only if NatGeo pays better attention to details in the future.

My town topo map
Pros

In contact with the recipient, I was told their town was covered up with the clock's hand mechanism. It was supposed to be marked in red. Don't know what happened there.

"My Town" Topo Wall Clock
Pros
Cons
Best Uses
I purchased this as a birthday gift for one of my sons and have not yet given it to him, so I cannot speak to the accuracy of its time-keeping - however, I can say that the quality of the clock itself is excellent - the topo map is spot-on. I have shown the clock to co-workers and friends and everyone is impressed with the looks of it.

Purchased as a gift for a friend. She was very touched to have the location of her childhood home on this tile. The clock suits the " timelessness" of this location!

Gorgeous Gift Idea
Pros
- For Clock Lovers
Cons
- Breakable
Best Uses
- Conversation Piececlock
Bought this item as a Xmas present and gave to a friend who collects clocks. He simply loved it and set it out to show it off. No sooner did he put it out than someone bumped into the table which was by the door, knocking it to the tile floor and shattering it. I told him it was a bad idea to put it out like that, however, he didn't listen and felt terrible about breaking it. Anyway, we contacted National Geographic and in no time we had a new one and he has put it in a case for protection. It is absolutely beautiful and far outshines the other clocks in his collection.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
