Pocket Watch Style Desk Clock by Restoration Hardware

This item is a decorative desk clock designed to mimic the appearance of a vintage oversized pocket watch. The piece features a polished chrome or nickel-plated metal casing with a spherical, domed glass crystal that provides a slight magnification effect to the dial. The dial itself is a champagne or metallic silver-tone finish, featuring bold black Roman numerals and a classic railroad-style minute track along the outer perimeter. The brand 'Restoration Hardware' is faintly visible printed on the upper half of the dial. The clock hands are black with ornate, skeletonized spade tips, characteristic of early 20th-century timepiece aesthetics. At the top of the case is a decorative crown and orb-shaped bow (ring), consistent with pocket watch construction, though here it likely serves as a handle or purely aesthetic element. The condition appears fair to good, with some light surface scratches present on the metal bezel and some faint scuffing on the crystal. The manufacturing likely dates to the early 21st century (circa 2000-2015), produced as a revivalist piece in the industrial or vintage style for which the retailer is known. The unit likely operates on a quartz movement, given the era of its design and its retail origin, though the battery compartment is not visible in this view.
