The clock itself is quite large scale, measuring 33" wide and 4.5" in diameter. It requires to be of these dimensions to enable the text to be readable from a distance.

The clock is wall mountable and requires a single AA battery to function. The tubular clock currently retails at $160, mostly down to the specific engineering and unusual unique concept.
