The Sealed Bronze clock bodies have been protected with thin, crystal clear layer of Parylene C, a polymer plastic. The tough, high-tech material is used in the military and the medical industries for coating circuit boards and as an inert coating for surgical instruments. It is applied in a vacuum, and is totally invisible.

Parylene film is an effective moisture and oxygen barrier. The Parylene won't stop your bronze clock from changing color, but it will do so very slowly, if ever. The plastic is extremely hard and unaffected by most solvents, and it's scratch resistant and impervious to household cleaners. It is tougher than any lacquer or urethane coating, and it won't chip or flake off. The only way you may be able to damage the finish is to try to clean the clock with brass polish or abrasive cleaners.

Bronze, painted with lacquer, looks like it has been coated. Parylene imparts no color or sheen, so you won't even know it's there. The Sealed Bronze Metropolis Desk Clock looks totally natural. You will be very satisfied with your desk clock from Adriano Design.  Learn more at www.clockplace.com
