A sophisticated, minimalist industrial wall clock combining a blackened 14-gauge A36 mild steel faceplate with an exposed, centrally mounted brass clockwork mechanism. Features a concealed 1/2" back-bracing frame to prevent thermal distortion during TIG fabrication, providing a modern floating appearance. Complete galvanic isolation is maintained between the brass and steel elements using nylon shoulder washers to prevent bi-metallic corrosion.
