Collection: clocks

While we interact with clocks on an everyday basis, they are more than just timekeepers. They are a statement piece that adds charm and personality to any living space while keeping you on schedule. Whether you prefer a classic wall piece or simply need something interesting to display on your mantel or console table, the right clock can enhance your home’s aesthetic. 

Take a look at our collection of high-quality clocks to find the one that's right for you.

Considerations

Clocks are both decorative and functional. They are essential for your home's interior design.

Purpose & Placement

Determine the use and placement of your timepiece to determine what kind of clock you need. Do you anticipate needing it for timekeeping, decoration, or both? Your answer might lead you to choose a decorative piece with style and flair or maybe something functional that shows its hands and has clear placement.

Additionally, consider your clock’s placement. Whether you want it in your bedroom or on a tabletop in your kitchen, placement is a key factor in determining its design and function.

Power & Maintenance

Consider the method by which you will be powering your clock. Battery-operated clocks are a very popular choice nowadays. They need a little upkeep every once in a while, but they are by far the most convenient. Plug-in options are a great choice for digital and smart clocks, but they will require an outlet nearby. Lastly, mechanical clocks are the neediest of the bunch. They require manual winding and regular maintenance, but they are also the most charming.

Take your time to see what option is best for you, but for those who want a set-and-forget option, a battery-powered quartz timepiece is your best bet.

Mechanisms & Noise

Generally speaking, most clocks nowadays operate with a quartz movement, which is an accurate, low-maintenance option. However, pieces with mechanical movement require winding, maintenance, and are rarer due to their mechanisms. While quartz pieces are easier to maintain, opt for a mechanically operated timepiece if you want to add a touch of traditional craftsmanship to your space.

Additionally, you may find that some clocks make ticking sounds when they are running. If you are in a noise-sensitive area or want a quiet space, choose a quartz or digital clock for silent movement.

Types of Clocks

For those who are still on the fence and need a little guidance, don’t fret. Here will be breaking down some of our most popular styles in a bit more detail, whether you are looking for a specific style or just want inspiration.

Wall

For a simple option that fits anywhere and saves space, choose a classic wall clock. They are the perfect choice for living rooms, kitchens, offices, and hallways. Not only do they fit anywhere, but they are also available in modern, rustic, and industrial styles to match any interior design. Depending on how large you want your clock, you could make it a focal point of your room or maybe go for something small that adds subtle elegance.

Mantel

If you need something accessible and easy to place on a tabletop, look no further than a mantel clock. They are the perfect choice to place on nightstands, office desks, or fire mantels. They are both compact and stylish, which makes them easy to fit just about anywhere. 

You can find them in analog, digital, and antique-inspired designs. While they may seem geared toward function, they can be used as an accent piece to complement your home decor, especially in small spaces.

Alarm

If you have trouble waking up in the morning or keeping an organized schedule, choose an alarm clock. A few main features of an alarm clock include multiple alarms, snooze functions, and smart technology like weather and wireless charging, which can make them a hub for your tech essentials.

They are also available in analog, digital, and sunrise-simulating designs that warm up as the sun comes up. They are best suited for bedrooms, bedside tables, and offices where punctuality is a must.

Grandfather

Add a charming and traditional touch to your home with a classic grandfather clock. These old-fashioned pieces feature a tall freestanding design with pendulums and chimes that make it the centerpiece of any room. They are a symbol of timeless elegance and craftsmanship, recognizable by many. They work great with traditional homes, formal living rooms, and entryways, as they do require floor space.

What Size Should I Choose?

Here are some general guidelines regarding the size of your piece.

• Small (Under 12”) - Ideal for compact spaces such as kitchens or bedrooms

• Medium (12”-24”) - Great choice for standard living areas like living rooms and hallways

• Large (Over 24”) - Best used as statement decor or oversized walls

Are Smart Clocks A Good Option

Although their design is not traditional, and it may seem like timekeeping is far from their most important feature, they can be quite useful for some people. They offer many features such as voice control, WiFi connectivity, alarms, weather updates, and some are even able to stream music. These timepieces are best suited for people with a lot of technology integrated into their home, such as smart light bulbs or smart pet feeders. 

Ensure a purchase like this makes sense for you, or if it will be more of a hassle.
