Description
This round glass wall clock pairs a black-and-white portrait of a platinum-blonde star with a busy city skyline, lifted by flashes of red lipstick and yellow taxis. Behind the portrait, an art deco skyscraper rises above rows of towers, while a pair of yellow cabs runs along the lower edge for a lively, big-city feel. The overall tone is a soft grey, and white Arabic numerals from 1 to 12 circle the face, each outlined in grey so it reads clearly against the print. Two slim black hands turn from a small silver centre. The face is 30cm across and just 0.5cm deep, so it sits close to the wall without jutting out.
At 30cm, the face is large enough to read from across a living room yet neat enough for a hallway, a bedroom or a home office wall. The grey and white print sits happily against bold paint colours as well as plain walls, and the red and yellow details are easy to echo with cushions, prints or flowers nearby. It suits anyone who loves black-and-white portrait photography, vintage glamour and busy city scenes, and it makes a cheerful gift that needs nothing more than a wall to hang on.
The image is printed on glass, and the analogue face runs on a quartz movement powered by one AA (MN1500) battery, which we include so the clock is ready to set straight away. It hangs from a hook, so a sturdy picture hook or screw fixed at the height you want is all it needs. To keep the glass bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth, keeping moisture away from the movement. Hang it at eye level where the light falls across the print, or make it the working centre of a gallery wall of framed photographs.
