Description
This wall clock is built to look like a small piece of factory machinery, with pipes, valves and gauges gathered beneath a round dial. The clock face is black, with large copper-coloured numerals at twelve, three, six and nine, minute markings around the edge and gold-coloured hands, all set inside a wide silver bezel studded with round rivets. Below it, copper-coloured pipes run down into a dark cylindrical tank, coil around it and branch out to three red valve handles, a red wheel and a spoked wheel, while a smaller dial marked as a thermometer sits on its own pipe to the left. The whole piece has a silver metallic effect finish and measures 45cm tall, 39cm wide and 9.5cm deep.
With its workshop look, this clock sits well in an industrial or loft-style living room, a home office, a study or a hallway. At 45cm tall it has real presence on a chimney breast or above a sideboard or desk, and its depth gives the pipes and valves a raised, layered look. The black dial and bold numerals make the time easy to read at a glance, so it works as an everyday clock as well as a talking point. It is just as much at home in a hobby room or a converted garage full of tools and models.
The clock runs on one AA battery, so it needs no cable or nearby socket and can go wherever suits the room. The silver metallic effect finish is set off by the copper-coloured pipework and the red of the valve handles and wheel, which give the design its warmth. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, working carefully around the pipes and valves. We like it hung at eye level with clear wall around it, where plain shelves or dark wood nearby bring out the copper and red details.
