Description
Grandpère Antoine had a clock for every room in the house, but the green and gold one in the parlor was reserved for Christmas. He wound it carefully on the first of December and set it on the mantel, where its gentle ticking filled the room. On Christmas Eve, he would set the alarm for midnight, and when it rang, the whole family would toast the start of the holiday together.
This box is shaped as a holiday alarm clock in green and gold, a rich color combination that brings to mind evergreen boughs and candlelit evenings. It makes a fine gift for a clock collector, a punctual friend, or someone who loves traditional holiday colors. It also looks wonderful on a mantel, a bookshelf or a bedside table, where it lends a warm, old-world charm to the season. Antoine still tells everyone the clock has never lost a single minute. His grandchildren, who secretly adjust it every Christmas Eve, have no intention of correcting him.
