All About Wall Clocks

Wall clocks are a fantastic way to style and class to your home decor. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. Nowadays you can even choose between store bought and custom or handmade. And depending on whether you want to go classic or contemporary, you can have a wall clock on your home that still requires wounding by key, or one that sets itself automatically several times a day through radio signals from the cesium atomic clock.



Classic styles

Who can argue with the always stylish look of wall-mounted grandfather or pendulum clocks? They go great with almost any decor and provide a warmth and elegance to your home that is nearly intangible yet not all expendable. Many antique and classical style wall clocks come in a variety of wood finishes such as cherry, mahogany, and oak. Styles you want to keep in mind are Gothic Fusee, early cuckoo clocks, single and double weight Vienna wall clocks, French Ebonised , and dial Fusee wall clocks.



Modern and contemporary clocks

Today's wall clocks have a style and personality that are truly their very own. Looking at some of them, you might say the only thing they have in common with a traditional clock is that they both tell time! Wall clocks today have features that we once never would have imagined would be possible. Atomic wall clocks not only update themselves several times a day and adjust for Daylight Savings, but they do it by receiving radio signals from the cesium atomic wall, the most accurate clock in the world. Styles today are also dramatically different as well. Many feature contemporary art designs and other funky additions.



Funky clocks

The more collector-oriented or novelty-minded consumer might go more for pop culture memorabilia and other unique designs. You can find wall clocks with your favorite cartoon characters, sports teams, pop singers, brand names, etc. Some of the more famous collectible wall clocks feature Elvis swinging his hips, Betty Boop, and Felix the Cat with swinging tail pendulum. If you're really creative, you can make your own decorative wall clock.



How to choose

The most important thing you want to do is choose a clock that is right for your space. Large rooms, obviously, might benefit from larger wall clocks, be beware: small wall clocks maybe as easy to install as one, two, three, but larger clocks, such as wall-mounted grandfather clocks, might take a little more time and effort. Just make sure you know what you're getting into before buying that big beautiful wall-mounted clock.
