Yes, we are in the digital age. But the beauty of analog clocks is timeless. You can find analog clocks suitable for any type of decor. Going for an antique look for your living room? Popular companies like SEIKO and Ajanta Quartz still make antique-looking clocks for the antiquaries. There are contemporary versions of pendulum clocks too. Compared to a digital clock, an analog clock makes a bold statement.
But something that turns people away from analog clocks is the ticking sound made when the second needle moves. The movement of the pendulum can also be distracting for some people. Having a ticking clock in your bedroom when you are trying to get some sleep can be quite annoying. We recommend silent sweep clocks. It is as quiet as a digital clock can be.
You can find analog clocks with hourly melodies and chimes. For example, SEIKO's MELODIES IN MOTION can play one of the 18 melodies it comes with every hour, followed by the legendary Westminster chime. If you have kids at home, an analog wall clock is the best option to teach them to tell time. Find out if a digital wall clock is the one that suits your lifestyle and needs in the next section.
Digital wall clocks value practicality over style. It is easier to read a digital clock, and some models provide more than just time. You can find digital clocks that display the day, date, month, and year. Some can even display the temperature of the room. There may come a situation when you want to count the seconds. What do you think is easier?
Following the second hand of an analog clock or the display on a digital clock? Obviously, the digital clock is easier to read. There are not many choices to make a statement with a digital wall clock. We recommend this type of wall clock for both home and restaurant kitchens, office rooms, and study rooms, where telling time quickly is of importance than flaunting a stylish clock.
Wall clocks usually come in three sizes—small (8 - 10 inches in diameter, medium (12 - 24 inches), and large (24 - 32 inches). As for the size of a wall clock, there are no clear rules or guidelines. But we will give you an idea about the factors that you can consider. The first thing you can consider is the size of the room. A small clock will look good in a small room.
Medium and large size clocks are apt for mid-size and large rooms. Another factor to consider is the decor. Suppose you have a large room, but if the wall where you plan to hang the clock already has a lot of decoration items, picture frames, etc., adding a large-sized clock might be overkill. Here are some examples that break the above-mentioned stereotype.
If you want a wall clock that doesn't overwhelm your other decor, a small-sized one would be the most suitable, even if it is a large room. How about your wall clock as the centerpiece of your interior theme? In that case, a large wall clock in a small room can look good. Find a few that you like and visualize how they would look on your wall. That's the best way to decide.
This mainly applies to analog wall clocks. To be honest, we only came across a few models that look striking: Remote Control LED Digital Wall Clock on Wish.com, Mooas 3D LED Wall Clock on Ubuy India, and ALTITUDE LED WALL CLOCK on Carrter Collection. Let's look at the style and color options you have for analog clocks. Dark-colored wall clocks will look good on light-colored walls and vice versa.
The classic white dial with black numerals is still in trend. There are wall clocks available with different colors and patterns. Make sure to choose contrasting or complementary colors. For example, a purple-colored wall clock will look good on a yellow-colored wall. This color wheel will help you find the right color. The latest trend in interior decor is minimalism.
Minimalist wall clocks will look simple in appearance. Some may not even have numerals, but that's one way of displaying your creativity. Just type "minimalist wall clock" on Google, and you will be presented with a ton of options from top brands as well as small-time designers. Choosing the right style and color is as important as choosing the right-sized wall clock.
A great way to lift the vibe inside your house is to buy a wall clock that can play melodies. The number of melodies a clock can play varies, with expensive ones being able to play as many as 18 melodies. The more melodies your clock can play, the less likely you are to get bored of repeated listening.
When a clock plays a melody, you know that an hour has passed without having to look at the clock. Waking up in the middle of the night when the clock starts playing music is not going to be a pleasant experience. So if you want a musical wall clock for your bedroom, buy one with a light sensor. They will go quiet when the lights go out.
You are well aware of digital clocks that can display day, date, month, year, and temperature, and analog clocks that can play music. But wall clocks can come with more features. If you work for a client who is in a different time zone, your office could use a wall clock that can display multiple time zones.
Then there are clocks with parts that move in sync with the music it plays. Such clocks can be considered a part of your interior theme. What if you want to know the time when your room is dark? Clocks with needles or numerals that glow in the dark will help you tell time. Design innovations are still happening in the wall clock domain. Revisit our top 10 list to find out more.
