Round Dial Tabletop Mantel Clock with Stand 20cm - White

This round mantel clock keeps things simple, with a crisp white case and a white dial that let the time do the talking. Clear black Arabic numerals in a slim, rounded style run around the face, framed by a ring of small dots marking the minutes, and the black hour and minute hands are easy to pick out at a glance. A fine seconds hand turns past a small gold-tone centre cap, the one warm touch on an otherwise clean white piece. It stands 20.5cm tall, 20cm across and 5cm deep.

At 20cm across, it is a comfortable size for a desk, a bookshelf, a bedside table or the mantelpiece, where the plain white face sits quietly against painted walls and natural wood alike. The large numerals read clearly from across a room, so it suits a home office or a hallway as well as a living room or bedroom. Turn it round and you will find a keyhole slot in the back, so the clock can also hang on a wall from a hook or nail if you would rather keep a surface clear. Its slim 5cm depth means it never crowds a narrow shelf or windowsill.

The clock movement sits in a neat recess at the back of the round case, and the low stand at its foot holds it upright on any flat surface, so it needs no wall at all unless you want one. To keep it looking fresh, dust the case and face with a soft dry cloth now and then, and keep it away from damp and direct heat. We like it among white pieces and pale wood for a calm, uncluttered look, or as a bright, easy-to-read face on a busy shelf of books and keepsakes.
