REALNET PAYMENTS & The Retro Revival: A New Take on Automotive Time with the Steering Column Clock

Milwaukee, WI – October 26, 2023 – REALNET PAYMENTS LLC, a leading provider of secure payment processing solutions based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is proud to announce a surprising, yet exciting, foray into automotive accessories. While best known for streamlining financial transactions for businesses, REALNET is now bringing a touch of classic style back to the driver’s seat with its newly launched Steering Column Clock. You might be thinking, “Payment processing to clocks? What’s the connection?” Well, at REALNET, we're all about connecting people and facilitating smooth, reliable experiences. And honestly? We felt the same way about bringing back a cool, classic car feature that's been largely missing from modern vehicles. A Blast From the Past – Why the Steering Column Clock? Remember those days? Back in the 60s, 70s and even the 80s, a sleek clock nestled right in your steering column wasn't just a time-teller, it was a statement. It was a subtle nod to classic style, a little piece of luxury, and frankly, it just looked cool. “We noticed a gap in the market,” explains Michael Johnson, Head of Product Development at REALNET PAYMENTS. “Modern cars are packed with tech, but they’ve lost some of that analog charm. We started thinking, what if we could bring back a piece of that heritage, something a little different, a little nostalgic?” The idea quickly gained traction internally. The team at REALNET, a group that appreciates both innovation and a good vintage vibe, realized there was a real demand for this type of accessory. “We started researching, talking to car enthusiasts, and realized we weren’t alone in feeling this way. People are craving that classic aesthetic, even in their newer vehicles.” What Makes the REALNET Steering Column Clock Different? This isn’t just a rehash of some old design. REALNET has taken the classic concept and given it a modern upgrade. Here’s what sets it apart: Universal Fit: Forget worrying about compatibility. The REALNET Steering Column Clock is designed to fit a vast majority of steering columns. The adjustable mounting bracket means it’ll work in everything from classic muscle cars to late-model trucks and SUVs. We’ve tested it on tons of vehicles to make sure it fits snugly and securely. Quartz Movement – Reliable Timekeeping: While we love the vintage look, we’re not sacrificing functionality. The clock uses a precision quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping you can depend on. No more having to constantly reset it! LED Backlight – Easy to Read, Day or Night: Let's be honest, sometimes you just want to glance at the time without squinting. The built-in LED backlight provides clear visibility, even in low-light conditions. It’s not overly bright, just enough to make it easy to read. Durable Construction – Built to Last: REALNET is a company built on reliability, and that extends to this product. The clock housing is made from high-quality ABS plastic, designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving. It’s built to look good and last for years. Easy Installation – No Need for a Mechanic: We believe anyone should be able to install this clock. The installation process is straightforward and requires minimal tools. We've included clear, step-by-step instructions, and even a helpful online installation video. You can get it installed in under 30 minutes! Powered by Standard AA Batteries – No Wiring Required: Forget about complex wiring or tapping into your car’s electrical system. This clock runs on two standard AA batteries, making installation a breeze. Just pop them in and you’re good to go. More Than Just a Clock – It’s a Statement. The REALNET Steering Column Clock isn't just about telling time; it's about adding a touch of personality and nostalgia to your vehicle. It’s a conversation starter, a way to express your appreciation for classic automotive style, and a unique addition to your driving experience. “We’ve seen a lot of excitement around this product already,” says Sarah Miller, Marketing Director at REALNET. “Car enthusiasts love the retro look, and even people who aren’t necessarily ‘car guys’ appreciate the subtle elegance it adds to their interior.” REALNET PAYMENTS – Expanding Beyond Financial Solutions So, why is a payment processing company selling clocks?
