Retro II Round Metal Wall Clock 25cm - Black & Copper

This round wall clock pairs a black dial with a warm copper centre, a clean retro look that never feels fussy. Slim copper-toned batons mark the hours around the edge, with a double baton at twelve, and two slender black hands sweep across the copper disc, so the time reads clearly at a glance from across the room. The case is metal, finished in black with a softly rounded rim, and the centre is copper with a fine brushed sheen that catches the light as you pass. It measures 25cm across and 4.5cm deep, a neat size that sits comfortably on a wall without crowding it.

We think it suits a living room, hallway, home office or kitchen wall, anywhere a plain modern face and a touch of warm metal will sit well with the rest of the room. Black and copper look good against charcoal, grey or white walls, and alongside wood furniture, brass lamps and natural textiles, while the uncluttered dial keeps it calm rather than busy. It also makes a thoughtful new home gift: a practical piece that gets used every day, in colours that settle easily into most schemes, whether the new owner's taste runs to mid-century furniture or something more pared back.

The clock runs on one AA battery, so there is no cable to trail to a socket and you can hang it on whichever wall suits you best. At 4.5cm deep it sits close to the wall. To keep it looking its best, dust the case and face with a soft dry cloth now and then, and keep polishes and sprays away from the copper centre. Hang it at eye level above a sideboard, desk or reading chair, where that copper disc can draw the eye, and if it is going as a housewarming present, a bag of good coffee alongside makes a warm welcome.
