Modern Clocks – An Essential for Everyday Living

It is often said that there are only two things in life which are absolutely certain, and they are death and taxes. However, whoever said that missed something out: that is that everyone, without exception, needs to be able to tell what time it is – and often many times a day or night. This is why there is such a huge range of modern clocks available in all sorts of designs to cater for every taste.

Modern clocks include wall clocks, mantel clocks, illuminated clocks, world time zone clocks, alarm clocks, digital clocks, mirror wall clocks, pendulum clocks, large clocks, small clocks – the list is almost endless. 

For instance, in mantel clocks, the manufacturer Kare produces a vintage Roman wood mantel clock which is square and comprised of a sheesham wood surround with brass fittings and Roman numerals. Arti & Mestieri have the Robin mantel clock in a silver metal which is described as funky and unusual. It is most certainly both of those and has to be seen to be appreciated.


Roco Verre have a Roman Louis mantel clock in black or white, and a block Louis mantel clock which has a black body and is available in a choice of different face colours.

When it comes to wall clocks, you are spoilt for choice. Roco Verre produce a gloss lunar hand clock which is just the movement in a choice of colours and an hour hand and minute hand. You can then choose from a set of numerals to fit around the clock – again in a choice of colours and in numbers or Roman numerals – so in effect creating your own design.

There are also illuminated modern clocks which serve the purpose of telling the time and providing light as well, and there is even a mirror version which acts as a mirror in addition. All that within one clock! It begins to remind you of a mobile phone which these days is actually a portable computer that just happens to have a phone included.

You can even have custom wall clocks made to your own design and which can contain your company logo, your pub sign, your football club logo, or anything else.

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...
