Kenema Wall Clock 70cm 425534

The Kenema is a large round wall clock, 70cm in diameter, with an open skeleton frame in an antique nickel colour. Its broad, rounded outer rim holds a ring of pierced metalwork, and tall Arabic numerals are cut out in open metal, so the colour of the wall shows through the dial. At the centre sits a disc of exposed gears in silver and darker grey, with long black hands that read easily from across a room. It is built from metal and glass and weighs 7KG, a solid piece that feels substantial.

At this size it suits a large wall where a smaller clock would look lost: a chimney breast, the space above a sideboard, a tall hallway or the end wall of an open-plan kitchen and dining room. The open frame stops a big clock from feeling heavy, which matters on a pale wall where a solid dial would read as a dark block. The antique nickel tone and the gear centre bring an industrial, workshop character that sits well beside dark wood, black painted furniture and warm brass accents, and it looks as right in a loft-style flat as in a period house. It is an indoor piece, best kept in a dry room.

The clock runs on three AA batteries, also sold as LR6, and they are not included, so have a set ready before you hang it. At 7KG it needs a wall fixing chosen to hold that weight, in a solid wall rather than on a light picture hook. The metal frame and glass ask for very little: a soft, dry cloth run over the rim and numerals keeps the antique nickel colour looking its best, and a soft brush lifts dust from the open gaps in the frame. Measure your wall first, because 70cm is a generous diameter and the clock looks best with clear space around it.
