The clock is silent, as it does not have a 'second' hand. It has a plastic casing, a glass lens and a robust battery-powered mechanism. Classic design, with a lovely French Grey finish. The traditional aluminium hands and calligraphy-style numbering add to the charm. With its simple hanging hook, it's really easy to install. It measures 25.5 cm (10") in diameter. Also available in Vintage Blue and Antique Cream. With a 12 month guarantee. Living Nostalgia French Grey Wall Clock
