Round Arabic Numeral Radio Controlled Wall Clock - Black & White

This round radio controlled wall clock pairs a black frame with a clean white dial, and it is the kind of clock you can read at a glance from across the room. Bold black Arabic numerals run all the way around from 1 to 12, with a fine ring of minute markers at the edge, so there is no guesswork about the time. Black hands with tapered tips sweep over the dial from the centre. It measures 35cm across and 5cm deep, a generous size that holds its own on a wide wall without crowding a smaller one.

Because it is radio controlled, the clock takes its time from a broadcast time signal rather than relying on you to set it by hand, which makes it a sensible choice wherever people check the time on the way out of the door. We think it suits a kitchen, a hallway or a home office, and it is just as much at home above a mantelpiece or a shelf in the living room. The black and white colouring sits easily with most schemes, from crisp white walls to warmer cream and stone tones, and the plain, uncluttered face keeps it practical rather than fussy. In a study it gives a clear time reference without pulling attention from the work.

On the back there is a single keyhole slot near the top for hanging, so one screw or picture hook in the wall is all it needs, and two small round pads either side of the movement rest against the wall. The frame has a smooth black finish. To keep it looking its best, dust the frame and front with a soft dry cloth. For a balanced look, hang it at about eye height, or above a console table or a run of shelves where it can be seen from the doorway.
