Atomic Analog Clock, 12.5 Inch, Cherry Wood (WT-3122A-INT)

This self-setting wall clock from La Crosse Technology, with its wood-finish frame and completely wireless design, is as reliable as it is visually appealing. With a 12-inch diameter face, this clock is easy to read from a distance, making it an ideal choice for both professional and home settings.

The clock is equipped with a receiver that picks up signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock, automatically setting itself to the exact time, accurate to the second. This feature ensures that the clock is always synchronized with the official time, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. For areas where Daylight Savings Time does not apply, the clock offers a manual override setting that allows you to set the date and time yourself.

The clock comes with four time zone settings (Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific), providing users with the flexibility to choose the appropriate time zone for their location. Operating the clock is a straightforward process, as it requires the installation of a single "AA" alkaline battery.

The clock's design features a white dial and a wide, solid wood surround with a beautiful walnut finish, giving it a classic and elegant appearance that complements any home, office, or classroom. This analog atomic wall clock is suitable for both executive or professional offices and personal homes, making it a versatile choice.

The clock's low-battery mechanism ensures that users are aware of when the battery needs to be replaced. When the battery is running low, the second hand will begin to jump 2 seconds at a time, a process that typically occurs approximately once per year.

The clock's self-setting feature is convenient, as it automatically updates to Universal Time via a WWVB radio signal. This signal has a 2,000-mile radius from Fort Collins, Colorado, ensuring that the clock provides the most accurate time possible.

Furthermore, the clock automatically updates the time twice a year for Daylight Saving Time, reducing the need for manual adjustments. For those living in states that do not observe Daylight Saving Time, the clock offers an optional ON/OFF switch for this feature.

To set up the clock, users simply need to install a brand new alkaline battery (1.5 volts) in the movement on the back. The hands will then spin, stopping exactly on 12:00. Once the signal is received, the hands will adjust to the current time, with the Eastern time zone being the default.

It is important to note that the signal strength may be stronger in the evening and when the clock is facing the front or back towards Fort Collins, Colorado. Atmospheric conditions, such as heavy storms or electromagnetic interference, may also affect the signal strength.

In summary, this self-setting wall clock from La Crosse Technology is a reliable and visually appealing option for both professional and personal settings. Its features, including automatic time updates, multiple time zone settings, and a classic wood-finish design, make it a convenient and stylish choice for any space.
