Modern Rectangular Wall Clock | Slim Wood Grain Frame For Hallways, Offices and Kitchen Areas

Rectangular is a rare shape for a wall clock and that is most of the reason to choose it. Almost every clock is round, so a horizontal rectangle registers immediately as different, and it fits the spaces a circle does not: above a door, along a narrow strip of wall, over a radiator, or in the gap between two windows.

The slim frame keeps it from becoming a panel. A thick surround on a rectangular clock reads as a picture frame with hands in it, whereas a narrow one lets the face be the object. Wood grain warms it enough to work in a living space rather than reading as office equipment, which rectangular clocks otherwise tend to. Hang it landscape rather than portrait unless the wall is genuinely narrow, since a rectangle reads as a clock horizontally and as a panel vertically. Keep it out of direct sun, which lightens a wood grain finish unevenly across the frame.

It suits hallways, home offices, kitchens, and living rooms, particularly on the awkward horizontal spaces a round clock leaves looking unbalanced. Hang at standing eye level and dust with a dry cloth. Keep out of prolonged direct sun. Buy it now.
