This is a desk clock created with a piston from the inside of a Chevrolet engine.
Measuring at 8.5 inches tall, with the base approximately 4 inches around, this small block Chevy piston makes a fantastic conversation piece on a desk.
The piston clock is available in three finishes:
1 - Elegant finish. The piston is meticulously cleaned and polished. All evidence of it being inside of an engine is blasted off, exposing the beautiful raw metal. A thick clear enamel then protects the finish.
2 - Patina finish. The piston is left with its marks and stains from its hard life inside the engine! The patina finish shows a lot of character. A thick clear enamel not only preserves the patina, but also gives the clock a clean and smooth feel.
3 - Color. This piston can be finished in any color you like. When purchasing a colored clock, please be sure to leave a note at checkout with the desired color for the piston.
You also have the choice of the color of the ring around the clock face. The choices are silver, black or gold.
The final decision when ordering your piston clock, is the choice of clock face. The clocks are available with roman numerals, arabic numerals or our favorite, the B.A.D RPM gauge face. All of the clock face choices can be seen in the pictures.
The piston is an integral part, deep inside the engine, any car fan would be thrilled to have a piston re-purposed as clock - particularly this clock for Chevrolet lovers!
The clock weighs just over 3lbs, which helps it to have a strong, industrial feel to it. The Quartz clock is battery powered, and a battery is supplied with the item. Time adjustment and battery replacement are easily carried out from the back of the clock, without dis-assembly of the piston.
Please note the option to add a custom plaque to your piston. The plaque can say whatever you would like, or have a logo on it. Note the second to last picture in the listing is not of the Chevy piston - but represents the plaque option. If you would like to add a plaque, please also purchase the plaque addition listing, and be sure to leave your desired message in the notes at checkout.
