A Vast Choice Of Contemporary Clock Designs

If you thought that clocks were things from the past and that there are no new designs, you couldn’t be further from the truth. The fact is that we always need to tell the time, and there are huge numbers of contemporary clocks that have a very 21st century appeal. 

There are pendulum clocks, mirror wall clocks, skeleton wall clocks, electric clocks, world time zone clocks, radio-controlled clocks, modern mantle clocks, modern alarm clocks, digital time zone world wall clocks, and invotis gear clocks, just to name a few.

One of the most stunning contemporary clocks is the Invotis gear clock. This is a wall clock that is composed of gear wheels that look as though they might have come out of your car gearbox, and between them these gear wheels drive another big wheel which has the hours printed on it. An arrow at the top points to the hour as it passes the arrow. There is no minute hand, but the clock is large and it is easy to read the time down to the nearest four or five minutes, which is good enough for most purposes.

An even more elaborate version of the Invotis gear clock has two further wheels which show the day and the month. Altogether an absolutely stunning piece and a very clever design – and what a talking point when you have friends round for the evening!

Then there are pendulum wall clocks in a striking acrylic finish of red, silver, gold, white, black, or orange. These clocks have a square face and long pendulum hanging below. The face has Roman numerals and the hands are finished in chrome.

There is also a huge array of skeleton wall clocks that you can buy in a variety of finishes, and many with Roman numerals. They range in diameter from around 13” up to one which is a massive four feet across! Another talking point in any modern home!

There are also world time zone clocks, some with three clocks and one with five which is useful if you really want to know the time in five disparate countries.

There are many, many more modern and contemporary clocks that you can buy, and a search on Google will give you all sorts of ideas.

Clocks Are an Essential Part of Our Lives

What would we do without clocks? Throughout our waking hours we need to know what the time is. We need to know if it’s time to leave the house to get the train to work. We need to know if its coffee break time, lunch time, time to leave the office, time to put the dinner on, time to go to the football match, and even time to go to bed. OK, many of us have a watch, although more people today rely on their mobiles to tell the time. But when you have a clock, all you need to do is to look at it on the wall and it tells you the time. You don’t have to get your phone out of your pocket or handbag and switch it on – just look at the clock on the wall. That is why there is a plethora of modern clocks that you can buy. They still do the same thing that Victorian ones did, but they just look as though they were made in the 21st century. Having said that, there are modern clocks that are made using Roman numerals which gives us a hint of times gone past, but there are...

Some Examples of the Many Designs of Modern Wall Clocks

One of the most important things in our lives is time. It has a habit of passing, and once it has done so we can’t get it back. It has gone forever. However, time rules a lot of our lives. We have to be at work on time. We have to catch a train on time. The beef is going to take some time to cook. This or that is taking a long time. So it follows that we frequently need to know what time it is, and for that we have watches and clocks. Many homes have wall clocks in the sitting room, the kitchen, the bedroom, and sometimes even the bathroom, because we constantly need to check the time. There are some really great designs of modern wall clocks available, some of which might be described as “way out”. For example, one of the modern wall clocks is the Invotis Wall Gear and Date Clock which consists of a set of gear wheels which turn slowly and move a large gear wheel which tells the time. The clock has two smaller gear wheels which also display the month and...
