Polished Metal & Wood Pencil Cube Office Clock*
Make your desk space more appealing with this clock and pencil cube.
Keep your pens and pencils organized in a modern and professional style with the Polished Metal & Wood Pencil Cube Office Clock. It is built from sturdy wood and accented with a metal top, and the wood cube carries a built in analog clock, so one glance at the desk answers the only question anyone asks between meetings. The base is padded, which means it can sit on a lacquered conference table or a polished credenza without leaving a mark behind it.
The clever part is the front. The chrome plate on the face of the cube slides up, and every pen and pencil that would otherwise be rolling loose across the desk lives inside. Nothing is on display, nothing is in the way, and the cube goes straight back to looking like a clock the moment the plate slides down. A button cell battery is included, so it starts keeping time the day it comes out of the box.
What turns a desk accessory into a gift somebody keeps is the engraving. The Pencil Cube Office Clock is engraved in-house by HansonEllis, as it has been for customers since 1999, with room for two lines: a name on the first, and a title, a company, a date or a few words of thanks on the second. That is enough to say whose desk this is without turning the cube into a trophy.
Give the Pencil Cube Office Clock to the top performers in your organization and show them what their hard work and dedication are worth to you, in something they will use for years rather than something they will eat. Every employee appreciates a gift that is both stylish and functional at a corporate function. Help a student stay organized with a Cube Office Clock of their own, their name engraved on the front in recognition of everything they have accomplished, and watch a parent's pride land properly. It suits a new job and a promotion just as well, on the first morning in the new office.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give a desk something that earns its square inches.
Button cell battery is included.

Which one should I choose
A desk gift is judged by how much of the desk it earns, and these three take up the same corner in different ways.
| Polished Metal & Wood Pencil Cube Office Clock | Choose it when one piece should do two jobs, hold the pens and show the time, with a name engraved on the front. |
|---|---|
| Polished Metal and Wood Business Card Holder | Choose that for someone whose desk problem is cards rather than pens, or order both so the desk set matches. |
| Wood Bookend Picture Frames | Choose those when the gift should hold books and a photograph rather than keep time. |
| A plain pen cup | The default: it holds pens, tells you nothing, and carries nobody's name. |
For a corporate award or a first office, the engraved cube wins because it is useful every hour of the day and still says who it was given to.
