Easy setup and versatile placement: stand the clock on a shelf or mantle, or hang it on a wall using the back keyhole. No wiring required, and it runs on batteries (not included). Battery powered: convenient, cord operation with a simple power source. Requires batteries (not included). Giftworthy and versatile: a desirable gift for anyone who appreciates uniting traditional Old World design with a clean, modern look. Suitable for studies, offices, bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and more. Use scenarios: In a study or home office, placed on a shelf to provide a subtle time cue and decorative charm without clutter. In a living room or kitchen, as a conversation piece that adds character while remaining unobtrusive. In a bedroom, where the automatic night silence ensures restful sleep while still offering hourly charm during the day.
