Bee Print Round Wall Clock 30cm with Silver Hands - Blue

This round wall clock puts a bumblebee at the heart of a soft duck-egg blue dial. The bee is illustrated in a loose watercolour style, with a black head, bands of amber and black, a pale buff tail and pale, feathery wings spread wide. There are no numbers on the face. Slim fine lines mark each hour around the edge, so the bee stays the star. Silver hour and minute hands and a slender silver seconds hand sweep over the illustration, and a smooth rim in a matching blue frames the whole dial. It measures 30cm across and 4.5cm deep.

At 30cm across it is large enough to read easily from across a kitchen or living room, yet modest enough for a hallway, a landing or a home office wall. The quiet blue suits sage greens, warm whites, natural wood and soft greys, and the bee brings a little of the garden indoors all year round. We think it sits especially well in a kitchen with botanical prints or a dresser of country pottery. It also works above a desk, where a calm, uncluttered face makes the time quick to check.

The face is kept simple and clean, with fine dark hour lines and silver hands against the blue. The 4.5cm depth lets the clock sit neatly close to the wall rather than jutting into the room. To keep it looking its best, dust the rim and the front with a soft dry cloth now and then. Hang it at eye level, where the bee can be seen properly, perhaps with a cluster of framed flower prints or alongside a shelf of plants. It also makes a cheerful, useful gift, the kind that earns its place on the wall every day.
