Round Wall Clock with Moving Gears 44cm - Black

This round wall clock pairs a deep black dial with three moving gears set across its centre, so there is always something turning as the hours pass. The gears have an aged bronze and gold finish, and they sit beneath slim gold hands that sweep past bold gold baton markers. A large gold numeral 12 crowns the top of the face, with a ring of small gold minute ticks running round the edge, and the whole dial is held in a slim silver frame. It measures 44cm across and 6cm deep.

We think it sits best on a wall where it can be seen and given a little space: above a sideboard or desk in a study, over a fireplace in the living room, or along a hallway or landing. The black and gold palette works well against darker painted walls, where the gold catches the light, and just as well against pale plaster, where the black dial gives the wall a strong focal point. The bold baton markers and that single numeral keep the face simple to read at a glance, while the gears bring the mechanical, workshop feel that suits industrial and traditional rooms alike.

The clock hangs from a single hanging point set at the top of the back, so one secure fixing in the wall is all it needs, and at 6cm deep it sits close to the wall. The back is a plain board that houses the clock's movement. To keep it looking its best, dust the frame and face with a soft dry cloth now and then, and avoid sprays or harsh cleaners on the gold details. For a balanced look, hang it with its centre at roughly eye level, and leave a clear margin of wall around the frame so the circle and its turning gears have room to stand out.
