"LOVE this clock. As soon as I saw it I had to have it. It goes really well in my monochrome kitchen and adds just a hint of colour without it being too much. It has a quiet tick and looks really classy in my kitchen. I have had many compliments on it and it has such a lovely clear face. I would definitely recommend!" - laurensmithjacob, website review
