Wall Clock 12 in – Wood Look with a Silent Movement and Glass Face

Wall Clock 12 in – No ticking, which is the entire point

A beech frame, a glass face and a quartz movement with a sweeping second hand instead of a stepping one. That is what makes it silent, and silence is what you want from a clock in a bedroom or a home office. Thirty centimetres across, which reads clearly from the other side of a room.

Why choose a silent movement?

A standard quartz movement steps once a second, and in a quiet room at night that becomes the only thing you can hear. A sweep movement moves continuously, so there is nothing to tick. It is the difference between a clock you can put in a bedroom and one you end up moving to the hallway.

• Silent sweep movement – no ticking, in any room.
• Beech and glass – warm wood with a clean glass front over the dial.
• 30 cm across – readable across a living room without dominating the wall.
• Six dial styles – different numeral and marker treatments on the same case.
• One AA battery – runs for around a year on a single cell.

A clock you stop noticing, which is the highest praise a clock can get.

Hang it at eye level from where you usually stand rather than centred on the wall — a clock too high is a clock you squint at. Use a fresh alkaline battery rather than a part-used one; sweep movements draw slightly more than stepping ones and a tired cell shows up as a clock running slow.
