Minimalist Square Silent Wall Clock 30cm

Square rather than round, and plain rather than decorated, this 30 x 30cm clock is built for walls that already have enough going on. The case is moulded synthetic and the whole thing weighs about 410g, so it hangs without needing heavy fixings. Five colours are offered: red, green, blue, white and a softer milk white, the last two reading as near neutrals while the primaries work as a single point of colour in an otherwise quiet room.

Behind the face is a swept movement rather than a stepping one. The second hand travels continuously instead of jumping, which means the fitting produces no ticking, and that is the practical difference between a clock you can hang in a study, a nursery corner or a small bedroom and one you cannot. Power comes from a single AA battery, which is not supplied, so it is worth having one to hand before you hang the clock.

Mounting is straightforward wall fixing. Check for pipes and cables before you drill, and choose a plug and screw rated for the load rather than relying on whatever is left in the drawer. Keep spare and spent batteries well out of reach of children: a swallowed battery is dangerous and needs immediate medical attention. Read at a glance from across a room, the square format also lines up neatly with shelving and picture frames.
