We use imported porcelain clocks that have quartz movements.  This give us an antique looking timepiece that have all the  modern conveniences, i.e you never have an unslighly cord to try to hide.  Many of these pieces have alarms and are suitable for the bedroom or any other room or office.  Here are just a few of the small clocks we have on hand.  These small battery operated clocks stand just 2.5 to 3 inches tall.
