Acu-Rite
45115 Retro 10-Inch
Analog Wall Clock, with Blue Case
|
|
Except for the fact
that there's no ac power cord dangling from it, you'd swear that the Acu-Rite
45115 Retro Analog Wall Clock dates from the 1940s or '50s. The
Retro 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.

Not
only does the Acu-Rite Retro 45115 Analog Wall Clock look like
kitchen clocks of the mid-20th century, it features the same
metal and glass construction of the clocks it replicates. The
case is a glossy sea blue, the bezel surrounding the dial is
chrome, and the dial is off-white (some might call it cream)
with black numerals. If you're a senior or baby boomer, you'll
look at the Retro and recall
a time that seemed so much simpler and calmer
than today. If you're a post-baby boomer, you'll look at the
Retro and think, "Wow, cool clock. Did they really look
like that?" (Yes, they did.)

Acu-Rite calls the Retro 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 Acu-Rite 45115 Retro 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.
