Windows 3.1 Style Clock
Windows 3.1 Style Clock
Retrofied
Hang this Windows desktop inspired clock on the wall of your own cave. The desktop layout, windows and application graphics are sure to ignite your nostalgia for simpler times.
Approximate size: 285x197mm. Requires 1 x AA battery (not included).
All clocks now have a smooth, quieter mechanism than our earlier ticking model.

I received the new version which does not tick, and I love it. I guess the movement is not as realistic as the Win 3.1 second hand, but it's much more pleasant. There's only a slight whirr that is amplified by the printed metal plate, but only audible in a silent room and up close.
The print is crisp and colorful, and the clock mechanism has a hook to be hanged on the wall. The plate ends at about 2cm from the wall.
I still live in a Windows 3.1 world :) and I love the clock. It's clever, creative, and thoughtfully executed. The quality of the printing is great -- this is worthy of mounting on my wall. My main objection is that the movement of the clock itself is very noisy. I don't think it's poor quality of itself, but I think the metal plate of the clock face acts reverberates such that it amplifies the noise. The hands themselves are on-brand, but it's seriously distracting in my office. I've temporarily disconnected the battery, in the hope that I can find a replacement movement which is quieter. 5* for the clock itself, 2* for the sound, 5* for the shipping and customer experience.
