Wall Clocks Buying Guide
What could be more functional and decorative than a newly purchased
musical while others come complete with an
alarm and
thermostat. The choice is up to you! See below for choices and tips.
Choosing Your Clock
* '''Location''': Where do you plan on hanging up your clock? The amount of space you have will determine what size model you want to buy. If you have a lot of space, an outrageous
oversized clock or antique clock can be appropriate, but a smaller amount of space narrows down your choices a bit. Also, think about what kind of hooks the clock comes with for mounting on the wall. Is your wall weak or will it be able to hold up a large clock? Make sure your wall has the capacity to support the style you choose.
* '''Price''': Price can vary depending on what you're looking for; but keep in mind that a $10 white wall clock and a $80
quartz clock can achieve the same goal depending on what you want. Remember, a clock can look expensive even if it isn't.
* '''Warranty''': If your spending a significant amount of money, does your clock come with some kind of warranty? Whether it's for a year or a few months, if you've invested a lot, you want to know you can return the clock if it breaks.
* '''Materials''': Is your room decorated mostly in earth tones? How about
wooden furniture? When choosing which clock to buy, you want to look at its composition, not only for durability but design.
Simple
These designs will go with just about any room in your home.
Modern and Fun
Embrace futuristic and unique designs when purchasing these clocks.
Antique
Antique wall clocks have a large niche in the collector's market. Whether you choose to hang them up around the house or keep them preserved, this can be a fun hobby with a little bit of history to it as well. Keep in mind that functionality is not a principle feature of these clocks; they are mostly for decorative purposes and may not give you the accurate time. They have a certain style about them and therefore would not be well suited in modern rooms. Here are some antique styles below.
