PULSAR Quartz Grandfather Clock

This is a full-size grandfather clock, likely dating from the late 20th century, specifically identifiable by the 'PULSAR Quartz' branding on the face, indicating it is not a traditional mechanical movement but rather battery-operated. The clock features a tall, slender wooden case, appearing to be crafted from a medium-toned hardwood, possibly oak or a similar stained wood, with a visible grain. The top section of the clock houses the main dial, enclosed within a rectangular frame with a decorative arched pediment at the very top. The dial itself is light-colored, possibly silver or brushed aluminum, with black Roman numerals for the hours and black minute markers. The hands are black, with a contrasting red second hand. The dial is encircled by an ornate, possibly etched or printed, gold-toned decorative frame featuring floral or scrollwork motifs. Above the main dial, within the pediment, there's a smaller, circular decorative element that also appears to be gold-toned and patterned. Below the main dial, visible through a glass panel, are three decorative weights, one on each side and one in the center, all appearing to be polished brass or a brass-colored metal. These weights are suspended by chains and are purely aesthetic, as they are not functional for a quartz movement. A pendulum with a round, brushed metallic bob also hangs below the dial, again, likely decorative. The wooden case shows general wear consistent with age and use, but no significant damage or repairs are immediately visible. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced item rather than a custom-made piece, typical of quartz grandfather clocks from its era. The overall style is traditional, mimicking the appearance of more historical mechanical grandfather clocks.
