Victorian-era tradition meets contemporary technology in this handsome wooden clock that received signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock. This style emerged in 1830s England when steam-bent wood became popular. With its pineapple finial (a symbol of hospitality) and brass feet, this handsome desktop clock reflects the embellishments popular during the 1880s. Another unique historical detailthat you can also look for on town and church steeple clocksis 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. Since this clock automatically syncs with the U.S. Atomic Clock, it never needs winding and will always be precise. Cherrywood and brass.
