Hi does the Jefferson 500 clock come battery operated I’ve seen some on the net are they from the 60s? Is there any where you can buy the later ones I’m in the uk and a clock converter costs £90 that’s why a battery one would be great for me thanks Gary Gillen.

MOMA reissues the Aurora ClockOctober 22, 2017 - 12:01 am
The classic mid-century clock gets an update with a broader spectrum of colors and a lower voltage LED backlight that adjusts to the brightness in the room.
