Description

A small, quiet clock with a real wood face.

The face is maple plywood, cut and engraved in our workshop. The numerals and minute dots are laser-burned into the grain, not printed on paper or applied as decals, so they won't yellow, peel, or scratch off. The frame is a plant-based bioplastic with a fine matte texture that holds its color under lamplight instead of flattening out.

The silhouette is asymmetric with softly rounded corners, in the mid-century style: four numerals, six dots, and a lot of open space. Not a round clock with retro colors applied to it.

Inside is a battery-powered quartz movement with no second hand, which means no ticking. It works on a nightstand, a nursery shelf, or a desk where you take calls.

Four colors: Sedona terracotta, Olive, Lime Green chartreuse, Navy Blue
Dimensions: 5″ H × 6″ W × 1.2″ D
Materials: Maple plywood face, plant-based bioplastic frame
Movement: Battery-powered quartz, one AA (not included)
Setup: Sits flat on its own base. No stand, no wall mount, no assembly.

Small enough for a narrow entry table, the end of a bookcase, a crowded desk, or a mantel that's already full, though the numerals still read clearly from across a room.

Make it a gift. Add a laser-engraved name, date, or short message and it stops being a clock and starts being something they keep. Weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, retirements, first apartments, first offices.

Cut, engraved, and assembled by hand in small batches in our own workshop.

  • Customer photo from an Etsy review of Vintage-Style Mid-Century Modern Desk Silent Clock
    Clock is very stylish, fun, and whimsical. Body is durable plastic with a nice tactile feel (I thought it was wood from the photo), and the face is clear plywood. The mechanism is the standard cheap AA battery clock motor which is appropriate for this size and price point. Looks perfect and playful in my MSM office space. Love it!

    I bought this for my living room. I had our last name put on it. It came so well packed & so well made. I loved it the minute I removed the styrofoam from the watch face.

  • Seller was out of this particular item/color combination; made a special effort to create it "on demand" when I told him I wanted to purchase as a holiday gift for my spouse. Customer service like that is SO rare these days, and much appreciated! Best wishes for continued success of your small business.
