Wall Clock Made from Tree Slice with Ball Moss and Reindeer Moss

Solid Wood Construction and Botanical Dial Configuration

This wall clock made from tree slice with ball moss and reindeer moss integrates natural timber with preserved botanical accents. The base is crafted from a cross-section slab of solid wood, displaying distinct annual rings, two-tone grain variations, and intact natural bark along the live edge. The dial replaces conventional printed numerals with textured botanical inlays. Preserved reindeer moss (Iceland moss) forms the numerals 12 and 6, while recessed circular cavities at the 3 and 9 positions hold preserved ball moss (cushion moss or pole moss). A contoured wood overlay covers the central hub, supporting slim metal hands.

The natural preservation process substitutes the plant sap with a biodegradable glycerin-salt solution. This treatment permanently suspends plant metabolism, locking in elasticity and color without requiring sunlight, irrigation, or fertilizer. The moss remains antistatic, reducing household dust accumulation on the dial elements. Because tree slabs grow with organic irregularities, bark texture, radial checks, and timber proportions vary from unit to unit.

Functional Timekeeping and Silent Quartz Mechanics

Inside the rear mounting cavity sits a non-ticking quartz movement. Standard clocks generate an audible rhythmic click as the internal gear advances every second; this continuous-sweep quartz unit advances quietly, eliminating mechanical noise. This acoustic performance makes the piece suitable for bedrooms, home libraries, recording spaces, and executive meeting rooms where ambient noise disrupts focus.

Power runs on a single standard 1.5V AA battery (not included). The clock hands are counterbalanced to minimize gear strain, prolonging battery life and maintaining precise time accuracy. A pre-fitted rear hanging bracket facilitates flush wall mounting on drywall, wood studs, masonry, or partition panels.

Technical Specifications and Sizing Options

Selecting the proper diameter ensures accurate visual proportion across different wall surface dimensions. The clock is available in three distinct diameter profiles to accommodate compact home offices as well as larger commercial settings.
