Some of us are always five minutes early, and some of us are always 'ish'. The Spaces Unhooked Octagonal Wooden Wall Clock with an 'Ish' Dial is for people who prefer to keep time loosely. Instead of numbers, the white dial says 12ish, 3ish, 6ish and 9ish in a flowing script, separated by long, simple lines. It is witty, relaxed and beautifully made.

A Dial That Keeps Time Loosely

Four words do all the work. 12ish, 3ish, 6ish and 9ish are written in an elegant handwritten style, each beside a long black line that cuts across the dial like a quiet divider. The rest of the face is clean and open, with no ticks or numerals to fuss over. It is a clever way to say that time is a guide, not a command. Even so, the bold black hour and minute hands and the simple layout make it easy to read at a glance, and a small brass-toned centre cap sits beneath the discreet Spaces Unhooked mark.

A Warm Wooden Octagonal Frame

The eight-sided frame is wooden, with a rich natural grain that runs in warm shades of brown and amber. Its smooth, bevelled edges give it a solid, handcrafted look, and no two frames look exactly the same. The wood balances the playful dial with a calm, grounded presence. A clear cover keeps dust off the face.

Where This 'Ish' Wall Clock Belongs

A clock with a sense of humour fits wherever people relax. Hang it above a sofa in the living room, in a kitchen, a home office, a cafe, a bedroom or a family room. It also makes a charming addition to a studio, a bookshop or a co-working space. The warm wood and white dial pair easily with cream and white walls, cane furniture and plants, and suit Scandinavian, modern and traditional interiors.

Made for Everyday Living

You will read it by the hands and the quarter marks, and after a day it will feel natural. It is a gentle reminder that a minute or two will not matter, which is a nice thing to see on the wall. Because the dial is so simple, the clock also makes a good talking point in shared spaces. Guests tend to notice the wording first and then smile, and it quietly sets a relaxed tone for the whole room.

A Thoughtful Gift

A funny clock is a happy gift. It suits a housewarming, a birthday or a farewell, and it is perfect for the friend who is never quite on time and will enjoy the joke.

Care and Mounting

Hang the clock on a firm nail or hook at eye level or slightly above, away from steam and damp areas. Wipe the frame and clear cover with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Replace the battery when the second hand begins to slow, and your clock will keep good time for years.
