Plug Inn Spoke Metal Wall Clock with Silver Hub 58cm - Black

This large metal wall clock pairs black hands and tapered black tips with fine silver spokes, leaving the wall around it in view. Twelve slim metal rods reach out from a silver hub, each ending in a black tip that marks an hour, so the clock reads cleanly without a face or numbers. It measures 58cm across and 58cm high, and just 4.5cm deep, so it sits close to the wall while still filling a good stretch of it. The black hands are long and straight, easy to read from across a room.

Hung above a sofa, a sideboard or a bed, it gives a plain wall a clear centre without heavy framing, and its open, airy shape suits a modern or mid-century room. It works well in a living room, a hallway, a dining room or a home office, anywhere a large clock earns its space. Because there is no solid face, the colour of the wall shows between the spokes: a dark wall makes the silver spokes stand out, while a pale wall lets the black tips and hands take the lead. It also makes a thoughtful new home gift for someone setting up a fresh space.

The clock is made from metal and runs on one AA battery, a common size that is easy to replace when the time comes. The hub is the only solid part, so there is little to keep clean: dust the spokes, tips and hands with a soft dry cloth, and avoid pressing on the spokes while you do. When hanging it, choose a fixing suited to your wall and the clock's 58cm span, and leave a little clear space around it so the tips are not crowded by shelves or frames. We like it centred over a piece of furniture with plenty of plain wall around it, where the full spread of the spokes can be seen.
