Kenema Wall Clock 46cm 425533

The Kenema is a round wall clock with an open, skeleton face, made from metal and glass and measuring 46cm across. Large Arabic numerals are cut out and stand clear of the dial, so the wall shows through between them, while a broad outer ring carries the minute track. At the centre sits a cluster of exposed gears in an antique gold tone, set against a silvery grey hub, with slim dark hands sweeping over the front. The frame and numerals have a brushed, aged silver look that sets off the warmer gold of the gearwork.

This is a clock for a wall that wants a focal point: a chimney breast in the living room, the space above a sideboard or console table, a hallway or a dining room. At 46cm across it has real presence, yet the open face keeps it from feeling heavy on a smaller wall, because your paint or wallpaper shows through the gaps. The pairing of worn silver and gold gearwork suits industrial, vintage and farmhouse schemes, and it looks just as much at home against a plain white wall in a modern room. It is decor for indoors, in a dry room, and makes a good gift for anyone drawn to mechanical detail.

The movement runs on three AA batteries, also sold as LR6. The batteries are not included, so pick up a set alongside the clock and it is ready to hang straight away. The clock weighs 2.46KG, so we suggest a sturdy fixing that suits your wall and carries that weight comfortably, rather than a small picture pin. The metal and glass build gives it a solid, substantial feel. To keep the gold gearwork crisp, dust it now and then with a soft, dry cloth. Keep a spare set of AA batteries in a drawer nearby, and the clock is never out of action for long.
