Unique Wall Clocks

Jessica Zernike | Feb 08, 2021

Whether you choose a heavy-duty unit made of rich, soulful hardwood or a lighter model with a bright, retro frame and quirky number display, investing in a unique wall clock can take your home's interior decor to the next level.

This type of product serves not only as a useful timepiece for you and your family but also as a stylish, show-stopping centerpiece of your home. Guests will laugh at the goofy hands on a novelty clock or marvel at the conceptual art on a modern, abstract-style clock face.

There are several factors to take into consideration when you're deciding upon which unique wall clock to purchase for your house. Most people purchase this type of clock as a fashionable focal point for their living room, entryway, or kitchen, so ensure you're investing in a product that complements this room's existing decor.

For instance, if you have a traditional or farmhouse-style living room with lots of dark wood furnishings and decorative flourishes, you'll want to find a wall clock that fits in with this aesthetic. Consider a model with a rich wooden frame and an elegant Roman numeral display.

Those looking for something more retro will appreciate a more vibrant, bombastic product with a brightly colored frame and chunky clock hands. If you want a contemporary-style model, try a minimalist wall clock with no numbers on display. Fans of functional, Nordic-style design will adore a clock with a thick, hardwood face and refined, lightly colored hands.

You should also consider the product's dimensions as you don't want to invest in a striking clock just to find that it takes up too much, or too little, space on your wall. It's always best to figure out exactly where you want the clock to go in your room before looking at models. Then, measure the height and width of the proposed space. Your wall clock should take up no less than a third of the space to avoid looking disproportionate.

The last thing to think about is the unit's durability. You should try to find a clock that has a sturdy construction. Woods like hard maple, beech, and oak are strong and wear-resistant, while metal materials like stainless steel and invar are also robust substances.

Those who enjoy minimalist, functional design will appreciate this black, 3D unit with its striking geometric form and compact dimensions. The product comes with a generous 5-year warranty, and the quartz clock’s muted, graceful sweep ensures that no one is bothered by incessant ticking. The silver hands stand out against the flower-shaped face, available in glossy black, brass, and stainless steel finishes.

This quirky and ergonomic wall clock comes with an adjustable diameter and the striking gold finish on each piece to add a touch of glam to your space. The package comes with self-adhesive stickers and a scale ruler, so you won’t have any problem setting up this unique wall clock. The hands move silently and elegantly, allowing you and your family to sleep peacefully without the distraction of ticking.
