Postmodern Wall Clock by Empire

Description

A round white 1980s wall clock by Empire. A white frame and white face with dashed red and green lines to show where the clock's numbers would appear. Hands in the shape of pencils are metal and painted red and green, with a touch of the underlying metal showing through near the tips to give the hands a reflective quality. A functional but fun and whimsical wall clock.
