12 Inch Metal Frame Glass Cover Non-ticking Quartz Wall Clock (Silver) for quiet indoor timekeeping
Reviews
Product description
The essentials
If you’re after a wall clock that’s easy to read and doesn’t add any annoying ticking, this 12 inch quartz option with a metal frame and glass cover is aimed squarely at everyday indoor use. The design leans on large numbers and high-contrast hands, with a highly transparent glass cover that helps keep the dial cleaner while still letting you see the time clearly from a distance.
On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes: a non-ticking/silent movement, a quiet sweep, and quartz movement for accurate timekeeping. It also uses a simple back-slot/hook installation approach, so it’s meant to hang up quickly without faffing about with complex mounting hardware.
That said, there are a couple of limits to keep in mind. It’s battery operated (one AA battery is needed, but not included), and the listing explicitly mentions not using high duty batteries—worth following to avoid power-related weirdness.
Key features
What you’ll probably notice first is the visibility. Large numbers and contrasting hands are there for a reason: you can glance at the clock in a room without squinting. The glass cover being “highly transparent” also matters in real life because it protects the dial from dust while still staying readable.
For the sound side, this clock uses a silent, non-ticking mechanism with a quiet sweep and quartz accuracy. If you’re sensitive to rhythmic ticking, or you want a calmer bedroom/workspace vibe, that’s the big selling point.
In terms of style, the silver metal frame and modern quartz look are positioned as a decorative indoor clock rather than a purely functional one. It’s the kind of piece that should fit naturally in kitchens, hallways, or living rooms.
What stands out in everyday use
Imagine it on a kitchen wall: you walk in, check the time without leaning in, and the glass cover means less dust accumulation on the dial over time. The non-ticking/silent movement is also the difference between “fine in the day” and “doesn’t get under your skin at night”.
For workspaces, the quiet sweep is particularly useful if you’re on calls or trying to focus—ticking clocks can be surprisingly distracting.
One practical downside: since it’s powered by an AA battery that isn’t included, you’ll need to source the battery before you can put it into service. Also, if you’re the type who expects a fully weatherproof kitchen clock, glass and indoor placement are what you should assume here—don’t treat it like an outdoor clock.

Who it suits best (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you want a quiet, non-ticking wall clock with readable numerals and a simple installation setup. It’s likely a good match if you care about bedroom/work comfort and want something that looks neat on an indoor wall.
It may not suit you if you’re very particular about battery choice or you don’t want the ongoing need to replace AA batteries. Also, if you prefer a clock with more advanced features (for example, anything beyond basic time display), this one is designed for straightforward timekeeping and display rather than extra functionality.
Worth considering if you like the idea of a modern, clean-looking metal frame with a protective glass cover—just be aware it’s positioned as an indoor decorative clock.
Care and placement notes
The glass cover is there to protect the dial from dust, which helps with day-to-day cleanliness. For placement, think about where you’ll actually read it from: the design aims to be glanceable thanks to large numbers and contrast, but like any wall clock, angles and distance will affect how quickly you can read it.
Also, installation is quick using the included hook, but you’ll need a small nail to go through the plastic hook as described. If your wall type isn’t suitable for a nail, you may want to think about how you’ll secure it before buying.
Is it worth it?
This is worth buying if silent, non-ticking quartz timekeeping and easy-to-read numerals are your priorities, and you’re happy to power it with an AA battery you’ll need to provide. The glass cover and modern silver metal frame are a practical combo for kitchens and general indoor rooms where dust protection and clean visibility matter.
Skip it if you don’t want to deal with batteries, or if you’re looking for a clock with more than basic analogue time display. It also relies on a nail-through hook installation method, so if you can’t or won’t use a small nail, that could be a genuine practical blocker.
Finally, it’s backed by a satisfaction guarantee mentioned in the listing (refund or replacement if you contact within 3 months) and a 365 day quality assurance against defective parts, which adds some confidence for a relatively simple, everyday purchase.
