Description
This skeleton wall clock sets an open silver ring of large numbers around a tall black panel, so much of the dial is simply your own wall. The panel runs straight down the middle, rising above the twelve and dropping below the six, which gives the round frame a strong upright line. Every hour has its own bold numeral, each a raised open figure set into the outer ring, and the slim gold hands move across the black panel where they are easy to pick out at a glance. It measures 50.8cm tall and 44.5cm across, a generous size that reads clearly from the other side of a room.
Because the face is open, this clock suits a wall where a solid dial would feel heavy: above a mantelpiece, a console table or a sideboard in the living room, along a hallway, or over the desk in a home office or study. The black and silver pairing sits happily in both warm and cool schemes. Against a pale painted wall the panel stands out crisply, while on a darker colour the silver ring takes the lead. With full numbers on an analogue face, the time is quick to read, which is why we like it for busy spots such as a hallway on the way out of the door.
The clock runs on one AA battery, which fits into the movement on the back of the panel, so there is no cable to hide and it can go on any wall you choose. It hangs from a single screw or picture hook through the keyhole slot on the back. To keep it looking fresh, dust the ring, numbers and panel with a soft dry cloth now and then. Hang it at eye level with a little clear space around it, so the open ring has room to frame the wall behind.
