The Chaney 45115 Retro 10" Analog Wall Clock is authentically crafted with a metal case, a chrome metal bezel around the dial, and a convex glass lens. This version of the Retro has a glossy blue finish on the case. We'd describe the color as a deep sea-blue (it's lighter and different from navy). The dial is off-white in color with black Arabic numbers in a type face that's totally in keeping with the retro look. Small black dots at the minute/second positions and larger cranberry red dots at the hour positions carry on the retro styling theme. The two metal hands are silver-tone with a brushed finish.

While the Retro's design is undoubtedly based on kitchen clocks of the past, feel free to use it anywhere you want: kitchen, family room, bedroom, den, office, garage, or basement. It will add a splash of blue color as it recalls a bygone era in American history.

Chaney Instrument calls the 45115 a 10-inch clock, but it's actually 9-3/8 inches in overall diameter with a 7-1/4 inch dial. The numbers on the dial are about 3/4 inch tall.

The 45115 Retro uses a highly accurate analog quartz clock movement. You simply insert one AA (1.5V) battery, turn a knob to set the time, and that's all there is to clock setup. The battery is not included and must be obtained separately. We recommend using an alkaline battery. Although expected battery life is not specified, we believe from our experience with this type of clock that the battery should last a year or more.

Our national fascination with things retro shows no signs of ending. So go ahead and get yourself an Chaney 45115 Retro Analog Wall Clock. Just like a classic '49 Ford or '55 Chevy, it'll take you back (in your mind, anyway) to a simpler place and time. Plus, it won't cost nearly as much to buy and maintain.
