Description
This round glass wall clock carries a bold monochrome portrait of the King of Rock and Roll, his swept-back quiff and high collar printed in solid black against a clean white face. Black serif numerals run around the edge, and where the four, five and six cross the print they turn white, so every hour stays easy to read. Slim silver-toned hour and minute hands turn from a small centre boss. The clock measures 30cm across and just 2cm deep, big enough to read from across a room without crowding the wall.
Black and white sits happily with almost any colour scheme, so we see this clock working in a living room, a hallway, a kitchen or a home bar where a little rock and roll attitude is welcome. It looks just as good above a record player or a sideboard as it does over a desk in a study, and it brings some character to a games room, a den or a bedroom. Because the design is all strong lines and solid shapes, it holds its own on a busy gallery wall or stands alone on a plain painted one.
The face is glass with a glazed finish, and a quartz movement at the back runs on one AA battery. A keyhole hanger on the movement means it goes up on a single screw or picture hook, and at 2cm deep it sits close to the wall. To keep it looking its best, dust the glass with a soft dry cloth and, when it needs more, wipe it with a lightly damp cloth and dry it straight away, keeping moisture away from the movement. Hang it at eye level where the portrait catches your eye as you walk in, and it quickly becomes the first thing people notice in the room.
