Alessi Firenze Wall Clock with Roman Numerals

The wall remains empty, even though you've been wishing for a clock that truly fits the room for months.

A bare spot above the sofa or in the kitchen – and every clock you've seen so far either looked too cheap or too plain. The Alessi Firenze wall clock by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni solves this problem with a dial that has lost none of its power since 1965: striking Roman numerals, clean lines, a quartz movement that ticks reliably. You hang it up once – and the room immediately gets the character it needed.

Advantages

• No more disappointing purchases: You know when unpacking that this clock delivers what it promises – the ABS resin is precisely crafted, so you don’t realize after weeks that the look disappoints in reality.
• No annoying readjustments: The quartz movement runs precisely without needing you to regularly correct or watch the clock – the time simply stays accurate.
• No worries about style: Whether a modern living room, old building kitchen, or office – the timeless Castiglioni design fits into various interiors without ever seeming out of place.
