This is a Mora Klockas or a grandmother clock...this is mainly because of the shape of the clock which is more curvy than the normal grand father clocks...this one has a porcelian finish look to it.... This clock thanks to the very talented Deliverance who made the mesh actually tells the real time....please follow the following paragraph to set your clock.... This clock can be set in two ways - either by just clicking on it, or by setting it 'manually'. To set it manually you type the hour followed by ‘h’, and then the minutes followed by ‘m’. For example, if it is 2:08 you type ‘2h’ then ‘8m’. If it is 10:30 you type ‘10h’ followed by ‘30m’. At one minute to midnight, you type ‘11h’ (or ‘23h’) then ‘59m’, and so forth. The clock will continue to show the correct time for as long as you have the window open and active, but note that if others join the room with the clock in it after you have set it, they will see the default time until you set it in their presence. if you are looking for something a little different in the antiques or older furnishings area please feel free to browse my catalogue....if you like what you buy please leave a review...
