Silent Open Roman Metal Clock

Two rings joined by Roman numerals cut from iron

An outer ring and an inner ring held apart by large Roman numerals, with the whole thing cut from flat iron and finished in an aged paint that shows the darker metal through the raised edges. The centre carries two long spade hands and nothing else.

Behind the inner ring sits a backing of narrow vertical boards, so the hands are read against timber rather than against open wall. The movement is a silent sweep.

One version. The pictures show the ironwork in black and in white, over light and dark boards.
