Design story
Nordic and Japandi interiors share a love of quiet, considered objects — and a wall clock is one of those objects you see hundreds of times a day. This clock is built around three principles: silent, readable in the dark, and warm enough to live with. The glow-in-the-dark numerals charge during the day from ambient light and glow softly for 6–8 hours at night.
Materials & craftsmanship
Solid wood frame (oak, walnut, or dark-stained variants) with a glass face. Silent-sweep quartz movement with a single AA battery. Numerals coated with strontium aluminate (the modern non-toxic glow material).
How to style it
Bedrooms
As a silent timekeeper readable in the middle of the night.
Living rooms

Home offices
As a quiet alternative to constant phone-checking.
Hallways
Above a console table as a quiet design anchor.
Care & maintenance
Wipe the wood frame with a slightly damp cloth and dry. Dust the glass face with a microfiber cloth. Replace the AA battery yearly or when timekeeping drifts.

Frequently asked questions
How silent is silent?
Imperceptible from arm's length. Most customers can't tell it's running unless they touch the second hand.
Do the numerals really glow?
Yes — strontium aluminate glow material that absorbs ambient daylight and glows softly for 6–8 hours at night.
Is it really 12 inches?
Yes — 30 cm / 12 inch face. Standard 'large wall clock' size.
What battery does it take?
One AA — not included. We recommend a quality alkaline for 1+ year of life.
Does the wood warp?
Quality kiln-dried wood is stable. Avoid hanging near a heat source or in very humid rooms.
How does it mount?
Single nail or hook on the back. Takes 30 seconds to hang.
