What is the Glass Clock with World Dial on a Black High Gloss Base?
Glass Clock with World Dial on a Black High Gloss Base (BC1039): a desk clock where Annealed glass with polished edges and a clear, even body does most of the work. It measures 7 1/4" x 8 3/4". This is the black colorway.
Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.
A clock is looked at deliberately, several times a day, for years. Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail.
At this level the piece is doing relationship work, not advertising work. Reserve it for named recipients, key clients, top performers, long-service milestones, and personalize it individually. Concretely: $114.00 each at 1-11, $70.68 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 4 in x 4 in.
Sand Carving
Abrasive is blasted through a cut mask to cut into the surface of the glass or crystal. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip.
Best for
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than color.
Color
Frosted white, optionally color-filled.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.

Common uses
Retirement giftsSpecified regularly for retirement gifts. The imprint area at 4 in x 4 in is sized for exactly that job.
Long-service awardsWorks well for long-service awards, where the desk clock format does what a printed handout cannot.
Executive giftingExecutive gifting is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Compliance shapes the purchase more than taste does. Many institutions cap the value of a client gift and require it to be logged, which pushes this segment toward pieces that read as considered rather than expensive. Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. Even at volume it holds $70.68, which tells you what tier this is.
2
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Protocol governs the object. Placement of insignia, order of precedence on a plaque and the wording of a commendation are conventions rather than preferences, and getting them wrong is the one error this segment does not overlook. The desk clock format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
3
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. A gift that lands on a client desk and stays there keeps working long after the meeting that prompted it. That argues for fewer, better pieces rather than a large volume of disposables, and for decoration that will still look intentional in two years. At $114.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
4
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.

What do buyers ask about BC1039?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on BC1039 is 4 in x 4 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash recommended. Avoid thermal shock. BC1039 measures 7 1/4" x 8 3/4" and is made of glass. Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. BC1039 sells from a single unit at $114.00, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on BC1039 is 4 in x 4 in.
What is the minimum order for BC1039?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on BC1039. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on BC1039 runs from $114.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $70.68 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
