Description
This round wall clock pairs a gleaming gold rim with a clean white face, and a little watercolour robin perches above the centre, bright orange breast and all. Beneath the bird, a flowing script reads "When a robin appears an angel is near", a gentle verse that gives the clock a meaning beyond telling the time. The hour markers are full numbers from 1 to 12 in soft light grey, so the face stays easy to read without crowding the robin, and the slim gold hands echo the rim. The finish is a metallic gold effect that wraps right round the side band. It measures 19.5cm across and 4cm deep.
At 19.5cm across, this is a compact clock for the smaller walls in a home: above a kitchen shelf, in a hallway, beside a bedroom mirror or over a desk in a study. We like how its soft white and gold colouring sits happily with cream, grey and pale wood, bringing a little of the garden indoors all year round. The verse gives it real meaning as a gift, too, a quiet and comforting piece that will be glanced at many times a day.
The clock is analogue and runs on one AA battery, which is not included, so keep one to hand. The battery fits into the movement at the back, beside the small wheel for setting the hands. A single slot on the back plate lets it hang from one screw or picture hook, and at 4cm deep it sits close to the wall. To keep it looking its best, dust the gold rim and the face with a soft dry cloth and avoid polishes or sprays, which can dull a metallic finish. Hang it at eye level where the robin catches the light, or wrap it with a fresh AA battery tucked alongside for a gift that is ready to go.
