When my mother and I were looking for the perfect gift for her mother's 90th birthday, I found this beautiful photo clock. We added eight 2X3 inch black and white photos to coordinate with the smooth silver-tone finish with black accents. The clock hands themselves are on a raised center portion, giving a three-dimensional elegance to the clock that was unexpected but welcome. It measures approximately 11 3/4" x 11 3/4" x 1" and requires one AA battery (not included, but I recommend including one so it can be used right away). All in all, it is timeless, durable, sentimental and beautiful- just like Grandma!
