Just before Christmas, Kerry got a very nice clock based on a Frank Lloyd Wright ‘Exhibition’ design.  We liked the looks of the clock, but for the space it was in, we wished it was slightly larger diameter.  Also the face was about 3/8″ thick, but, due to the mechanism, protruded from the wall about 1 1/8″.
