Description
The Matsumoto is a wall clock built as an open frame of fine gold wire: a softly rounded square outline with slim spokes radiating from a domed gold centre, and a pair of black hands sweeping across the face. Its colour is brass and black, a warm brassy gold for the frame and centre, with the dark hands standing out clearly. It is made of metal and measures 50cm across, 50cm high and 5.5cm deep, so it has real presence while sitting close to the wall. There are no numerals; the spokes act as the markers, and the hands are easy to follow against them.
Because the face is open, your wall colour shows through between the spokes, so the clock reads as much like a piece of wall art as a timepiece. That makes it a good choice above a sideboard, a console table or a mantelpiece in a living room, hallway or dining room, and it works especially well on a pale wall, where the gold lines show up crisply. At 50cm it is easy to read across a room and big enough to fill a bare stretch of wall without any pictures beside it. It suits anyone who wants a clock that brings warmth and a little sparkle to a room rather than a plain, everyday dial.
Frame, spokes and centre are all metal in the same gold finish, and the whole clock weighs just 0.71KG, so it is easy to lift into place and hang. It runs on one AA battery, also known as LR6. Batteries are not included, so keep one to hand and the clock is ready the moment it goes on the wall.
