The Howard Miller Pursuit is a compact hinged desk clock that pairs a timepiece with a working compass. It’s finished in glossy Rosewood Hall on select hardwoods and veneers. When you open the lid, the clock dial is on one side and a functional compass is on the other. The compass actually points north, so it’s more than a printed design. The dial has black Roman numerals and hands inside a polished brass bezel under a glass crystal. Closed, the case protects the face and fits in a drawer, bag or travel kit. At 3.5" W × 4" D × 1.75" H and 0.5 lb, the Pursuit fits on a desk, nightstand, shelf or mantel. Its quartz movement runs on one LR44 battery (not included). The second hand ticks softly and there’s no chime. It needs no assembly: put in the battery, set the time and display it. It makes a good gift for travelers, hikers, graduates, retirees, or anyone who likes classic tools with a practical use.
