Description
The Kenema is a round, open-frame wall clock that shows its workings. A deep circular frame holds a ring of cut-out Arabic numerals, and at the centre sits a studded plate holding a cluster of exposed gears, with two slim black hands sweeping across the face. It is made from metal and glass, and the colour is antique nickel: a soft, worn metallic tone with a warm champagne cast rather than a bright chrome shine. At 46cm across, it is large enough to read from the far side of a room and to hold its own on a wide wall.
Because the numerals are cut out and the dial is open, the wall shows through the face, so the clock picks up the colour of the paint or paper behind it. Over a sideboard or a chest of drawers it gives a long, low piece of furniture a focal point, and it sits just as comfortably in a hallway, a dining room or a kitchen with an industrial or vintage feel. It suits anyone who likes a clock that looks mechanical without being fussy, and the large numerals keep it easy to read at a glance. It is an indoor piece, best kept in a dry room.
The frame is deep enough to give the clock real presence from the side, with a brushed metallic edge that catches the light. It weighs 2.5KG, so choose a wall and a fixing that will carry that weight comfortably. The clock runs on three AA/LR6 batteries, which are not included. Pick up a set of three AA cells before it arrives and it will be ready to hang and set as soon as it is unpacked.
