Sometimes a clock just needs to be a good clock. The Spaces Unhooked Octagonal Wooden Wall Clock with Classic Numerals does exactly that, with a clear white dial, familiar numerals and a thick, handsome wooden frame. It is the kind of piece that fits into any home and never goes out of style.
A Classic Dial with Fine Minute Ticks
The numerals from 1 to 12 are set in a refined serif typeface with a gentle contrast between thick and thin strokes, which gives them an old-fashioned warmth. Around the edge of the dial, fine black ticks mark every minute, with a few longer lines at the hours, so the exact time is quick to read. The white face is clean and bright, and the hands stand out well against it, with a bold hour hand ending in a rounded tip and a long slim minute hand. A thin second hand moves smoothly round, and a small brass-toned centre cap sits beneath the discreet Spaces Unhooked mark.
A Thick Bevelled Wooden Frame
The eight-sided frame is thick and generous, with deeply bevelled edges that catch the light and show off the natural wood grain. Warm amber and brown tones, with the odd knot and swirl, give it a handmade, honest character. It feels solid on the wall and ages beautifully. A clear cover protects the dial from dust.
Where This Classic Wall Clock Belongs
A traditional octagon is easy to place. Hang it above a console in the hallway, over a sofa in the living room, in a dining area, a kitchen, a study or an office. It also suits a reception area, a clinic, a classroom or a cafe where a dependable clock is needed. The wood tones blend well with cream, white and soft green walls, and with cane, rattan and brass accents.
