8 individual solid hardwood pieces are assembled to create a beautifully clean design. A natural clear finish shows off the varied grain patterns of each section. The oversized 2" depth of the case also helps highlight the genuine wood. A glass lens protects a bright white dial with clean bold numbers as well as a red Silent sweep seconds hand (no ticking) making this easy to read and adds a modern flair to any room. Uses (1) AA battery, not included.
