Look twice. The Spaces Unhooked Square Black Wall Clock with Mirror Numerals is a clock with a twist, because its numbers are drawn in mirror image, as if you were reading the dial in a looking-glass. Even the brand mark is reversed. It is a clever, eye-catching design that makes people stop, squint and smile, and it still tells the time perfectly well.
A Dial Written in Mirror Image
The numerals from 1 to 12 sit around the edge of the white dial in a heavy, high-contrast display typeface, each one flipped as though reflected in a mirror. Their strong, curved shapes give the dial a dramatic, theatrical look. Inside them, a fine inner square of tick marks, with bolder marks at each five-minute point, keeps the exact minute easy to read. Bold black hour and minute hands and a thin second hand sweep across the face, and a small brass-toned centre cap sits below the reversed Spaces Unhooked mark. The numbers are in their usual places, so once you know the trick the clock is as easy to read as any other.
A Deep Black Square Frame
The black frame has an even border and a clean square profile that keeps the quirky dial grounded. Its strong outline contrasts with the playful lettering, so the whole clock looks confident rather than chaotic. A clear front cover keeps dust off the face.
Where This Mirror Numerals Wall Clock Belongs
A clock that makes people smile belongs where people gather. Hang it above a sofa in the living room, on a feature wall, in a creative studio, a home office, a hallway or a teenager's room, or in a cafe, a bar, a design shop or a co-working space. It sits well next to mirrors and gallery walls, where the reversed numbers feel especially at home. The black and white palette suits modern, eclectic and minimal interiors.
