Pocket Watch Aluminium Wall Clock 31cm - Silver & Black

This pocket watch wall clock brings a classic shape to a plain wall, with a silver aluminium case, a black dial and long, slim silver Roman numerals that reach right out from the centre to the rim. At the top sits a polished ring and crown in the manner of an old pocket watch, which gives the round face its character. Slender silver hands sweep over the dark dial, so the time reads clearly from across the room. It measures 38cm tall, 31cm wide and 3.5cm deep, a good size for a wall that wants a focal point without taking over.

Hang it above a fireplace, a sideboard or a hall console, or in a study, kitchen or bedroom where a clear face is useful every day. The silver and black colouring sits well with grey, white and charcoal schemes, and with other polished metal in the room, while the pocket watch outline suits a vintage or industrial look as readily as a modern one. At 31cm across it is large enough to read from a sofa or a desk, yet compact enough for a landing, a narrow chimney breast or a wall between two windows.

The case is aluminium, and the back carries a quartz movement that runs on one AA battery, so there is no cable to trail to a socket, with a keyhole slot for hanging on a single screw or hook. Care is simple: dust the case and face with a soft dry cloth, and avoid sprays or polish on the metal finish. For the neatest look, hang it at eye level and leave a little clear wall around it so the pocket watch silhouette has room to breathe; it also makes a handsome gift for anyone who likes a clock with a bit of history in its shape.
