New York Skyline Portrait Round Wall Clock 29.8cm - White

This round wall clock sets a black and white portrait against the New York skyline, with a tall spired tower rising on the left and towers stretching away into the haze. The portrait is of a young man with a swept-back quiff and a turned-up collar, printed in crisp greyscale so the whole face reads like an old press photograph. Bold black Arabic numerals run around the white dial, with dotted minute marks, small black triangles at each hour and ornate black spade hands. The edge carries a worn, aged finish. It measures 29.8cm across and 4cm deep, a size that reads clearly from across a room without crowding a wall.

Its monochrome print sits easily with grey, white and black schemes, so it suits a living room, hallway, kitchen or study, anywhere a little city glamour and vintage charm would be welcome. At 29.8cm across it is large enough to be the main clock in a room yet compact enough for a chimney breast, the space above a sideboard or a narrow stretch of wall beside a doorway. The Arabic numerals make it easy to read at a glance, which matters in a busy kitchen or hallway where you check the time on the way out.

Inside is a quartz movement that runs on one AA battery, which is not included, so keep one to hand before you hang it. There is no cable to trail down the wall, so you can place it wherever suits the room rather than near a socket. It hangs from a hook, and at 4cm deep it sits neatly against the wall. To keep the print looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Hang it at eye level so the portrait and skyline can be properly seen, or group it with framed black and white prints for a gallery wall.
