Record Glass Wall Clock with Needle Hand 37.9cm - Black

This glass wall clock is made to look like a black record, with fine grooves running round its rim and a black-and-white portrait of a smiling young man where the label would sit. Around the portrait, small white lettering reads "Recorded with LOVE. Play loud. Stereo Sound." along the top, with "All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved." curving beneath. The minute hand is shaped like a record player's needle arm, a playful touch that sweeps round the face, with a shorter silver hour hand beside it. It is a round clock 37.9cm across and 4cm deep.

At 37.9cm across, it is a generous size for a living room, hallway, study or den, and the bold black disc is easy to spot from across the room. It suits a music corner beside a turntable and record shelves, a retro-styled kitchen-diner or a games room with a jukebox mood. The black ring sits well against pale painted walls, bare brick or timber cladding, and the black-and-white portrait keeps the palette simple, so it works with chrome, wood or bright colour alike. Hang it as the centrepiece of a wall of framed music prints, or let it hold a plain wall on its own.

The clock is made of glass, printed with the record design, and it keeps time with a quartz movement and an analogue display. It takes one AA battery, which is not included. It hangs on a hook, and at 4cm deep it sits close to the wall rather than jutting into the room. To care for it, dust the glass with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a lightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. For a finishing touch, hang it at eye level above a record player or a sideboard, where the needle hand can make its rounds in full view.
