Nordic Wall Clock | Minimalist Wood Frame Silent Quartz Clock For Living Rooms and Kitchens

A wall clock is furniture that happens to tell the time. It hangs in eyeline all day, so the thing that matters is whether you want to look at it, and a minimalist wood frame is the version most rooms can carry without the clock becoming the loudest object on the wall.

Quartz movement is the practical half. It keeps accurate time from a single battery for around a year, and a silent sweep movement means no ticking, which sounds like a small thing until you have tried to sleep or concentrate in a room with an audible clock. The wood frame is a natural material against a painted wall, which is what keeps it from reading as an office fitting. Hang it at eye level rather than high on a wall, because a clock above sightline is read far less often than one you meet directly.

It suits living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, and home offices. Hang it at eye level from a standing position rather than centred on the wall, since a clock too high is read at an angle and too low disappears behind furniture. Keep it out of direct sun, which will lighten the wood unevenly over time. Buy it now.
