I saw the original designer versions of these a few years back. They had wall versions like this with no cords and wrist watch versions. They were like $800 at the time. I got so excited when I saw this post but then read about the cord. Bummer.
the ad description refers to “a quarter to seven” - but there IS no “a” on the clock. smh. this would sound like a cartoon villain from eastern Europe. “Iz quarter to seven, iz time to die, Mr. Bond.”
um, and where are thirteen and fourteen? or does 13 display as “quarter to seven minus two”?
“Clock outlets” were standard in kitchens in the 60’s and 70’s. They were a single recessed outlet installed about 6’ off the floor and they had a built-in hook for hanging the clock. Wall clocks came with really short cords, less than 6" long, so the clock would hang perfectly. Once quartz movement battery clocks gained popularity the clock outlets became a thing of the past although we still have a few in stock at my hardware store.
WHY would anyone want this? A regular analog or digital clock not simple enough to see the time? Only 12" square so the texts will be small and hard to read from a distance for most people over 40. For $75 you can find MUCH nicer decorative clocks.
I am admittedly only 35, but I set the image of the clock on my screen to roughly 4"x4" actual size and stood 10 feet away. This resulted in me easily being able to read without glasses, and my eyes are good but not perfect. This would translate to roughly a 30’ viewing distance before the words got too small to read, at least by my basic overly-simplified calculations.
I don’t know who tries to read a clock from over 30’ away but maybe this is not the clock for you then?
