This gorgeous clock is made from bent beech wood that has been shaped into folded ribbon shapes. Its contrasting minute and hour hands make it easy to tell the time. Ribbonwood's bent wood is part of a complex process of molding bent plywood. A quiet, functional clock, this clock operates on a silent sweeping quartz clock mechanism, ensuring precise and maintenance-free performance of the clock. Setting up and mounting Ribbonwood takes only minutes. Only 1 AA battery is required and you are set. 51CM
