Product Information
Full details
The Smiths Retro Wall Clock is designed for homeowners who appreciate mid-century design and classic vintage aesthetics, offering a sophisticated high-gloss black finish that enhances any wall space. Its key benefit lies in its faithful reproduction of the iconic Smiths Sectric Delhi design, though prospective buyers should note that it requires a manual battery installation and lacks a silent sweeping mechanism, meaning the ticking sound is audible.

Troubleshooting
The clock hands are not moving
Check that the battery is inserted correctly and try replacing it with a new, fully charged alkaline battery.
The clock is losing time
Ensure the battery has sufficient power. If the issue persists, check if the hands are touching the glass cover or each other, which may impede movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the clock, insert a fresh AA battery into the compartment located on the rear of the unit, following the polarity indicators. Use the adjustment dial on the back to set the current time. To ensure longevity, avoid hanging the clock in direct sunlight, which may cause the plastic dial face to yellow over time, or in rooms with excessive humidity like bathrooms. Clean the exterior case with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain the high-gloss shine. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can scratch or dull the glossy black surface.
