Polygon Clock

Never adjust the time by moving the hands. Use the dial on the back of the clock to set the time.

All wall clocks are powered by a AA 1.5v battery (included).

Gently dust with feather duster or micro fiber cloth. Be careful to not knock item from the wall. For exposed hands, occasionally blow dust from the movement shaft to prevent build up. To clean stains, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with a very diluted mild, non-abrasive detergent, and promptly dry. Contact us about any stubborn stains or mechanical issues.

The clock movement is replaceable, but with good care, it can last 10-15 years. To extend its life, change the battery once a year and keep dust from building up on the hands and movement. Do not display the clock in a space that gets intense sunlight & heat throughout the day. Always adjust the hands in a clockwise-movement using the dial or knob on the back of the clock only; the gears are designed to move in one direction.
