Description
This aluminium wall clock takes its look from an old pocket watch, complete with a gold ring and crown at the top of a round gold case. Inside the slim rim sits a black dial with tall gold Roman numerals that run from the edge towards a smaller black centre circle, and a pair of slender gold hands with a gold centre cap. It measures 31cm wide, 38.5cm tall including the ring at the top, and 3.5cm deep, so it reads clearly across a room without taking over the wall.
We think it sits best where its pocket watch outline has some space around it: above a fireplace, on a hallway wall, over a desk in a study or in a dining room alongside other warm metal tones. The gold and black pairing works with dark painted walls just as well as pale ones, and the Roman numerals give it a traditional feel that suits period homes and plainer modern rooms alike. At 31cm wide it is a good size for a chimney breast or the space between two doors.
The case is aluminium in a gold finish, and the clock keeps time with a quartz movement that runs on one AA battery, an easy size to find when it needs changing. A keyhole slot on the back lets it hang from a single screw or picture hook, and at 3.5cm deep it sits close to the wall. To keep it looking its best, dust the case and dial with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners on the gold finish. Hang it at eye level and set brass frames or a gold mirror nearby to tie the wall together.
