Timeworks clocks are an accent of the past for today's contemporary setting. Whether inspired by clocks found on the 19th century London street or an American railway station, each Timeworks clock has a story to tell and each accurately records the passing of time in its own nostalgic way. Every Timeworks clock is a faithful reproduction of an antique dial permanently bonded to a wooden base with individually distressed hands. The pendulums with their aged brass bobs are replicas of those used in clock manufacturing since the mid 1800's. Quartz operation ensures accuracy and reliability. Each clock operates for one year on a single AA battery. Each Timeworks clock is packaged in a simple, sturdy and beautifully printed "no need to gift wrap" cardboard box.
