This old-timer (pun intended) is an unsual clock in that, at night with the lamp turned on, projects the time onto your ceiling. This measures 6" wide and stands 6.25" tall. There are no chips or cracks in the housing, it keeps accurate time, and the alarm function works. It does run with a hum and if you have high ceilings in your room, it doesn't project very well. (It is very hard to capture the projection on the ceiling without a flash, please excuse the poor quality of my photograph).
