NEWGATE® M Mantel Railway Desk Clock | Modern Round Station Clock Design | Black | Contemporary Style for Desk, Table, Shelf or Bedside

This black clock arrived a couple of hours ago, but I also have another Newgate clock -- a green one. I went back and forth, trying to decide which one to put in the two available places. That's because both colors look good in both locations. In the end, I decided to put the green one in my bedroom and the black one in my living room. Now for my quibbles. First, the background on the black clock's face is not the pure, bright white shown in the product photos online. It's more of a cream/beige color in real life. To be fair, it's not a huge deal. If the product photos had shown the creamy color, I still would have ordered it because I like the clarity of the markings and how bold the clock looks from a distance. I like that there's not a second hand sweeping around the clock's face, nor is there an arm for setting an alarm (because this is not an alarm clock). I like that uncluttered look, without those lesser arms competing for my attention. On some of the clocks I looked at when searching Amazon for new clocks, I noticed many that had very confusing clock faces because in some cases those extra arms looked a lot like the hour and minute hands in both size and color. Ugh. My other quibble is the design of the back of the clock. Really, Newgate, couldn't you have done a better job with that? There's no cover over the clock's innards. It isn't a problem for my uses where the back won't show, but what about folks who want to put the clock on a table that can be approached from both the front and back? It'd be an eyesore. Yesterday I had to return another clock, not one of Newgate's, that was way too small for me to read from a distance and which was not big enough to make a statement, decor-wise. It was too bad because it was a lovely clock and quite different from other clocks I looked at. The size of the Newgate's clock almost made me decide against ordering it. I feared it'd be too big for where I wanted to put it. I'm glad I got over that and ordered anyway because the size does not seem like a drawback at all. I don't think I ever had a clock before that keeps time quite like this one does. As the minute changes, other clocks move the minute hand forward in a little jump, but on this clock the minute hand glides throughout the minutes with no abrupt movements. Thankfully, the clock is totally silent. I don't know why anyone would want a clock that ticks, and don't get me started on clocks that chime on the hour or ones that pop out a noisy little bird. If you're on the fence about buying this clock, it's returnable -- so go ahead and take a chance. I bet you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful, a classic. No noise, very readable, good value for money.

Fabulous! Looks great on the mantle. Easy to read. Little piece of art!

The online image seems to show a bright-white face. It is off white, kind of light beige. I will live with it for a day, but will probably return it. Disappointed.

This was bought as a gift. It looks just as advertised.

IT'S A GORGEOUS CLOCK AND LOOKS LIKE IMPORTANT MID CENTURY DESIGN. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. WORKS REALLY WELL TOO AND CAN BE EASILY SEEN FROM ALL ANGLES AND DISTANCES.

Cool looking, easy to read, but value just isn't there. This is a $25 clock, not fifty. Also, the base is webbed, not flat, so it's not realistic to add protective pads on the base. I can't recommend this, especially at this price point.

Clock stopped working after 8 months

Mooi formaat, bezorging volgens planning.

Die Uhr sieht richtig gut aus. Größe ist perfekt, auch aus der Ferne sehr gut lesbar… Kaufempfehlung! 🤗

Un orologio da mensola che è un piccolo gioiello. Chiaro, leggibile e preciso. Se uno ama lo stile minimal che fa l'occhiolino agli orologi delle stazioni ferroviarie di un tempo, è il prodotto perfetto.

Really love this mantel clock! Has a really striking design and looks great on my shelf. Included photo for scale as it was bigger than I imagined but I’m not disappointed by that. It’s made of plastic and doesn’t weigh too much but I don’t think that’s relevant to the quality. The build is still excellent and as promised it’s totally silent. Just got it so can’t speak to the reliability, but other clocks I have from Newgate/Jones are very reliable so I expect no difference here. It’s not cheap but for something you’ll have as long as this I think it’s worth spending a bit on something that’ll be better engineered & designed than a cheapo one.

Quiet and elegant. Beautiful piece of engineering.
