Description
The Matsumoto is a large wall clock made from fine black metal wire, its spokes running out from a solid black hub to a softly rounded square frame. Against all that black, the slim brass-toned hands stand out clearly, so reading the time from across the room takes no effort. It measures 60cm long and 60cm high, and sits 5.5cm deep, which keeps its profile close to the wall. As a decorative piece for the home, it belongs indoors, on a dry inside wall.
Because the face is open wire rather than a solid dial, your wall colour shows through every gap, so the clock picks up the shade of the paint or paper behind it. We think it looks best on a pale grey or white wall, where the black lines read crisp and graphic; on a deeper colour they settle into a quieter outline. At 60cm across it has the presence to anchor a chimney breast, the space above a sideboard or console table, or a long hallway wall, and it suits a living room, dining room or open-plan kitchen where a clock doubles as wall art. Anyone drawn to a modern, pared-back look will find it an easy choice.
The frame is metal, finished in black, and the brass-coloured hands bring a little warmth to the design. It weighs 0.82KG, light for a clock of this span. The movement runs on one AA battery, also known as LR6, and batteries are not included, so keep one to hand before hanging the clock. For everyday care, run a soft dry cloth along the spokes now and then to keep dust from settling; that is all the open frame needs. Fit a fresh battery, set the hands to the right time and it is ready to go.
