Clocks

Wall clocks are one of the few decorative objects that do something. The movement matters — a cheap quartz mechanism in an expensive frame will tick loudly and drift by two minutes a month. The pieces here use better movements than that.

You’ll find large round gear clocks where exposed mechanical elements are part of the visual design — bronze-tone gears visible through the face, giving the clock a steampunk-adjacent character without being costumey. Wood-back large format clocks where the face is a single piece of reclaimed wood. Round Roman numeral clocks with gear detailing. A phonograph-inspired desk clock where the speaker form becomes the case.

Gear clocks are typically decorative with a functioning clock mechanism at the center. The gear elements themselves don’t move — they’re fixed composition. Worth knowing if you’re expecting a working mechanical clock with visible movement.

Clock size relative to wall space matters more than most people anticipate. A 36-inch clock on a 10-foot wall looks appropriate. The same clock on an 8-foot wall with adjacent furniture crowds the space. Come in with wall measurements.
