Interesting Places to Hang a Wall Clock

Position Your Clock in a Creative Space

When it comes to hanging a decorative wall clock, many variables are at work. Factors include the type of clock, its function, and the room it is to be placed in. Modern and traditional wall clocks create noticeable differences when it comes to décor. The distinctiveness of a clock can restore an interior or exterior scheme, transcending its appeal. Here are some intriguing placement suggestions.

The Bathroom

Putting a clock in the bathroom maximizes often untouched wall space and serves as a time manager during those busy mornings. It doesn’t have to be ultra luxurious, just something simple and reliable. The goal shouldn’t be for it to stand out, but rather blend in quite conservatively. Guests will get a kick out of it.

The Top of an Etagère

This French furniture piece features a series of shelves that best display valuable ornamental bric-a-brac. The right clock - small, modern, wood – can greatly augment an étagère’s presentation if placed nice and neatly on the top shelf. Even the clock as a focal point of the fixture, right in the middle, works well.

The Outside Deck

Transform your deck into an outdoor room with a decorative clock. There are wonderful all-weather models that can provide a warm atmosphere and enhance a color scheme. The added character may even extend beyond your guests. A big enough clock, visible from the sidewalk simultaneously offers the passerby an aesthetic treat and the time.

Behind the Bar

Home bar designs provide great pleasure and are a fun way to entertain visitors. A big 36 inch wall clock, strategically placed, can add value to the dominating concept of your home bar. Aside from adding a great deal of refinement to the room, having the time readily available at any tavern, home or away, is convenient.

Clocks, contemporary or conventional, can work in to any room. It’s a matter of finding the right clock that fits the room, or altering a room the right way to fit a magnificent clock. Remember to balance the factors mentioned previously; clock type, its purpose, and the area.

The Contemporary Significance of Clocks

How the clock is important in modern times

There is no denying that the clock is one of the most important gadgets in the history of civilization. It tells people what time of the day it is, a simple yet valuable duty. The term clock derived from a Greek term for the sound of a bell, because primitive versions would ring out like one every hour or so. In fact, most modern clocks still do, more noticeably chiming wall and cuckoo.

Time is important

We live in an age that puts a large emphasis on time. We cling to it. Consequently, the clock has become just as integral. Because of this, clocks are literally all around us. It is almost impossible to turn the corner without seeing a wall clock, clock radio, or decorative clock.

The Sun Dial

Every single clock today, whether it is a classic Howard Miller grandfather or a round Bulova decorative wall clock, originates from a single device – the sun dial. However groundbreaking the sun dial was, it had one major disadvantage, it could not tell time during the night.

Water and Pendulum

To combat the sun dial’s shortcomings, the water clock was developed to tell time after the sun set. These early contraptions were the staple for many years until the advancement of the pendulum clock. Early pendulum clocks offered near perfect timing and continued to progress. We all know a pendulum clock when we see one, like this beautiful Hermle Brooke mechanical regulator wall clock.

The Electric Clock

With the advent of electricity came the electric clock. Their motors run for days and do not require winding every six hours. Following suit were battery operated models, which prominently fueled alarm clocks before the cell phone developed. Some argue that alarm clocks do not contain the elegance of pendulum clocks, yet phenomenal models from Sternreiter promote a unique alarm clock-exclusive elegance. Where would we be without the clock. Equally as important as their time-telling function is the aesthetic value of a clock. The unique combination of function and visuals is an art form, so nowadays when you buy a clock, you’re buying art. If you’re looking to include a decorative clock within a room’s layout, take your time. We at Expressions of Time have a wide variety of beautiful clocks and fixtures that will take a room from mere space to a work of art.
