Make a vertical or horizontal statement with a quartet of hardwood strips arranged in a strong linear format. Choose from elegant quartersawn cherry, with straight grain that emphasizes the overall shape, or exquisite figured beech with gracefully rippled grain. Black-painted hardwood is revealed behind the strips and emerges from both ends. Ingenious hangers are mounted so that the clock can be hung vertically or horizontally. No ticking sound due to continuous sweep, silent quartz movement. AA battery included.
