Description
This steering wheel wall clock brings a bit of motoring history to the wall, with a silver metallic effect hub and spokes set inside a slim black rim, just like the wheel of a classic car. At its centre sits a round black dial with bold 12 and 6 numerals and gauge-like markings that echo an old dashboard, framed by a silver bezel. Three slim spokes reach out to each side, an arc curves over the top and small copper-toned tips finish the ends. It measures 40.5cm across and just 7cm deep, so it has real presence without jutting into the room.
At that size it makes a confident focal point above a mantelpiece, on a feature wall in a living room, or over a desk in a study where a bit of personality is welcome. It suits a hallway too, where a clear dial is handy as you head out of the door, and it sits well in a games room, a den or any space with a retro or industrial look. The silver and black pairing works with grey, white and dark walls alike, and the open spokes let the wall colour show through, so it never feels heavy. The bold numerals and silver hands are easy to read against the dark dial.
The clock runs on a quartz movement powered by one AA battery, so there is no cable to hide, and a keyhole slot on the back of the hub lets it hang from a single screw. Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth to keep the silver finish bright. Hang it at eye height with a little clear wall around the rim and it reads as a classic car wheel from across the room; it makes a gift with real character too.
