Description
The Kenema is a large round wall clock with an open metal frame, so the wall shows through between its skeleton Roman numerals. At the centre sits a disc of exposed gear-work, a cluster of toothed wheels in layered metallic tones, with slim black hands that read clearly against the silver. It measures 55cm in diameter, comes in an Antique Nickel colour and is made from metal and glass. At that size it is a clock you can read from the far side of a room, which is the real reason to choose one this large.
Because the frame is open, it sits lightly on a wall: a plain painted wall in a living room, a dining room or a long hallway gives the numerals and gears room to show clearly. It works well centred above a sideboard, a console table or a mantelpiece, where its size gives the wall a focal point without the visual weight of a solid dial. The Antique Nickel colour has a soft, aged look that sits comfortably beside black, grey and white schemes, warm wood and brass accents, so it suits anyone after an industrial or vintage feel rather than a bright, polished one.
The clock runs on three AA (LR6) batteries, which are not included, so it is worth having a set ready. It weighs 4.3KG, so choose a wall fixing rated for that load and suited to your wall type. To keep the metal and glass looking their best, dust them with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull an aged finish. We would hang it at eye level or a little higher, where it gives the whole room the time at a glance.
