Grandfather clock
DA Master face in clock

The Master's TARDIS disguised as a grandfather clock, with his own disfigured face appearing in place of the clock's own. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)

A grandfather clock was a large clock that was approximately the height of an average human male. Its size meant that it had to rest on the floor, rather than upon a mantle piece or bookshelf. Its larger size meant that it had a much louder, deeper chime than the typical mantelpiece clock.

At times, the Master's TARDIS took the default shape of a grandfather clock, thanks to its functional chameleon circuit. This particular shape was one of many default appearances used by the Master's TARDIS.
