Over time, the clock’s appearance will be enhanced with the natural colors of aging copper. An electric submersible pump is included. Some assembly required. Quartz, battery operated movement.

If you’ve ever wanted a lighted waterfall in your entry, living-room, or bedroom, this clock is what you’ve been yearning for. How soothing is the sound of falling water? The slow, comforting tick-tock of a grandfather clock? The look of weathered stone? This clock–at home with almost any decor, whether traditional or ultra-modern, –tells time elegantly while humidifying your environs (it probably puts out negative ions as well).

Most people will want the copper to age to a dull, earthy tarnish; but I happen to like polished copper, so I would lacquer the metalwork before setting it up. I could see this clock lending grace to an otherwise dull corner: with some tallish, low light-level tolerant water plants (bare-rooted closet plants, or aspidistra?) anchored amonst the rocks in the floor reservoir, –but arranged so as not to impede the lights at night.

Attention physicians and dentists: you need this serenely beautiful clock in your waiting room to calm my apprehensions while I’m waiting to see you. . . .

[NB: Be sure to use distilled water so that you don't have ugly white mineral build-up on the slate.]
