Wall Clocks

A wall clock is not only functional for telling time, but it can also be a decorative accessory or a stylish focal point in a room.  It can be as drab and plain as the clock in fifth-period algebra class, or it can be as elaborate as a hand carved cuckoo clock.  Many clocks are fashioned from rare and expensive woods, manufactured from brass or iron, or even made from unusual objects.  This wide variety of clock styles and sizes will complement virtually any home or office decorating scheme and provide an interesting way to express something about its owner.

Modern wall clocks often have quartz movements that are energized by battery power, whereas traditional wall clocks may have beautiful wood cases with weight and pendulum driven mechanical movements.  Utility wall clocks, designed for school or office use, are fairly inexpensive and are usually designed for 120 volt AC power.

Some of the most decorative wall clocks are found outdoors, on the outdoor walls of clock towers, church steeples, and even homes.  London's Big Ben and Munich's Marienplatz clock are two noted outdoor wall clock examples.

You can find a wall clock to suit virtually any space and personality from classic to whimsical, antique to modern.  WallClocks.us features convenient access to online wall clock shops as well as clock manufacturers and timekeeping resources.

If you are looking for a decorative wall clock, why not consider a cuckoo clock?  These traditional Black Forest clocks may be designed to hang on a wall or to sit on a mantel.  If accurate time is your concern, a radio controlled clock, whose time is synchronized with the NIST atomic clock, may be your solution.
