Nordic Metal and Resin Wall Clock

Scandinavian clock design has always been about subtraction: take away the numerals, take away the branding, take away everything that is not needed to read the time, and what remains is a clean dial with a few markers. This clock follows that logic exactly, and the result works as well in a hallway as it does above a desk.

Three finishes are offered. The wood-effect face is the warmest and sits comfortably against exposed brick, oak or a painted wall. White is the most self-effacing and will vanish into a pale plaster wall, leaving only the hands visible. Blue is the boldest of the three and gives a plain wall a single point of colour without needing anything else hung near it.

Each finish can be ordered with or without a second hand, which is a genuinely useful choice rather than a cosmetic one. With a second hand you get a little visible movement, which suits a kitchen or a study; without it the dial is perfectly still and reads as pure graphic form, which is better in a bedroom. The case combines metal with resin for weight and rigidity. Hang it on a fixing rated for the weight, and check for buried cables and pipes before drilling.
