Square Record Player Analogue Quartz Wall Clock 30cm - Red

This wall clock turns its face into a record player seen from above, with a black vinyl disc laid across a deep red deck and a silver tonearm resting along the right-hand side. Where the record's label would sit, there is a printed portrait of a dark-haired young man in a lilac shirt, and the silver hands turn from a small black hub just beside his face. The square has softly rounded corners and measures 30cm across, 30cm high and 4cm deep, a size that reads clearly from across the room without crowding the wall.

It belongs wherever music is played and loved: a living room wall above a shelf of records, a den or music room, a bedroom, a study, a kitchen or a hallway that could do with a splash of colour. The deep red sits happily alongside warm woods, cream walls and soft grey paint, and the black and silver keep it from feeling loud. With an analogue display and no numbers on the dial, it looks more like a piece of art than a timepiece, yet the time is easy to read at a glance from the angle of the hands.

The clock runs on a quartz movement powered by one AA battery, which is not included, so have one ready before you put it up. It is made to hang from a hook, so a single picture hook or screw in the wall is all it needs, and at 4cm deep it sits close to the wall. The design is printed across the whole face, which keeps care simple: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and avoid sprays or anything abrasive. Hang it at eye level, or group it with posters and framed prints for a music wall; if it is a present, tuck an AA battery in with it.

How big is the record player wall clock?

It is square, 30cm across and 30cm high, and 4cm deep, with softly rounded corners. That is large enough to read clearly across a room without taking over the wall.

What battery does the clock need, and is it included?

It runs on one AA battery, which is not included, so have one ready. The battery powers the quartz movement that drives the analogue hands.

How does the clock hang on the wall?

It is made to hang from a hook, so a single picture hook or screw at the height you want is all you need to put it up.

Does the clock face have numbers on it?

No, the face is the record player design itself, with no numerals. You read the time from the position of the silver hands, just as on any analogue clock.

What colours is the clock?

The deck is a deep red, with a black vinyl record, a silver tonearm and silver hands, and a printed portrait at the centre of the record.

How do I look after the clock?

Dust the face now and then with a soft dry cloth, and avoid sprays and anything abrasive so the printed design stays crisp and bright.
