Description
This aeroplane wall clock brings a little flying history to the wall, with a twin propeller biplane spreading its wings either side of a round dial. The body and its upper and lower wings come in a deep blue with a metallic effect finish, lined with rows of gold rivets, while a gold propeller is angled across the wings on each side, as if ready for take off. A gold spoked ring circles behind the dial, which has a cream face, bold black numerals and a blue gauge at its centre printed with the figure 100, like an old cockpit speedometer. It measures 79cm across, 47cm high and 9cm deep.
At 79cm wide it needs a generous stretch of wall, and it rewards one: above a sofa, along a hallway, over a desk in a study or home office, or on a landing where it catches the eye on the way past. The large numerals read clearly from across the room, so it earns its place as a working clock as well as a talking point. The blue and gold colouring sits happily against white, grey or warm neutral walls, and it suits any room with a travel, transport or adventure theme.
The clock runs on one AA battery, so there is no cable to hide and it can go wherever the wall suits, well away from a socket. At just 9cm deep it sits neatly close to the wall without crowding a hallway. The metallic effect finish needs nothing more than a light dust with a soft dry cloth now and then; keep sprays and polishes away from the face. For a balanced look, centre it with some space either side so the wings and propellers have room to breathe, or surround it with framed maps and prints for a gallery wall with a flying theme. We think it makes a characterful gift, too.
