A little retro, a little geometric and completely charming, the Spaces Unhooked Square Black Wall Clock with a Checked Border has the look of a classic diner sign reimagined for the modern home. Tall, slim numerals sit inside a border of black and white checks on a crisp white dial, and glossy, edged hands add a touch of shine. It is a stylish clock with a playful streak.
A Checked Border and Tall Slim Numerals
A narrow border of black and white checks runs around the edge of the dial, like a racing flag or a vintage tile trim, and frames the whole face. Inside it, the numerals from 1 to 12 are drawn tall and slim in a condensed, slightly art deco typeface, which gives the dial a long, elegant rhythm. There is plenty of white space around each figure, so the face stays clear and easy to read. The hour and minute hands have a glossy black finish with a fine edge that catches the light, a thin second hand sweeps around, and a small brass-toned centre cap sits beneath the discreet Spaces Unhooked mark.
A Deep Black Square Frame
The black frame has a clean, even border and a simple square profile that suits the crisp pattern of the dial. The border of checks and the strong black outline work together, like a frame within a frame. A clear front cover keeps dust off the face.
Where This Checked Border Wall Clock Belongs
A retro clock gives a room a bit of personality. Hang it above a sideboard in the dining room, in a kitchen, a home office, a hallway or a den, or in a cafe, a salon or a retro-style shop. It suits modern, mid-century and eclectic interiors, and it looks great against coloured walls, wood panelling or plain white. The black and white palette keeps it easy to match.

Care and Mounting
