Description
This safe door wall clock brings the front of a bank vault to your wall. It has a riveted rim, a heavy hinge on one side and a looped handle on the other. Copper-toned spokes radiate from a porthole-style bezel like the locking wheel of a strongroom door, and a smaller spoked wheel sits beside the handle. The body has a shiny silver finish. The dial is warm cream and gold, with large black numbers, a fine globe motif at its centre and the word Quartz printed beneath. It measures 47cm high, 60cm wide and 10cm deep.
At 60cm wide, it needs a good stretch of wall to itself. It suits the space above a sofa, over a fireplace, at the end of a hallway or behind a desk in a study. The safe door design also suits a games room, a den or any space with an industrial or vintage feel. It makes a talking point where a plain round clock would go unnoticed. The big black numbers on the pale dial are easy to read at a glance from across the room. At 10cm deep, the hinge and handle stand proud of the wall, giving it real depth and shadow.
The clock runs on one AA battery, so there is no cable to hide and it can hang wherever it looks best, away from any socket. The shiny silver finish and copper-toned details need very little looking after. Dust them with a soft dry cloth now and then, and avoid polishes or abrasive cleaners that could dull the surface. When you change the battery, rest the clock face up on a soft surface to protect the spokes and handle. Leave clear wall around its edges so the full outline of the door shows, and set it against dark paint or exposed brick to carry the vault look through the room.
