When you buy new wall clocks, you can really exercise your imagination. Many people’s idea of a wall clock is a white face with black numbers. This is the type we see all too often in our workplaces and coffee shops. These are even popular in people’s homes, but I’m not exactly sure why. The watch has been around for a long time and has become so easy to manufacture (inexpensive) that it is available in every color, shape and design known to man.
Now, I’m not saying that everyone should go out and buy a bunch of wacky wall clocks because that would be so “cool” and “different.” There’s certainly a place for that, and a market to meet fringe demands, but you can also have a lot of style in the design you choose. In fact, many famous designers have put their hat in the ring when it comes to watch design. I think it’s really a shame that so many put so much time and effort into the color of their rooms, appliances, furniture, style schemes, etc. and then throw in a $5 black and white wall clock from Target! There are millions of options, all of them, why let this integral piece go unnoticed?
As for the price, as I have already mentioned, wall clocks are very affordable. If you want to be very extravagant then yes you are going to pay more. But you’ll probably still get more than what you paid for. This is always the benefit of buying from arenas where the product can be made very cheaply in foreign markets and shipped to you cheaply.
If you want to get a watch made in America, be my guest. There are many trusted providers. In fact, the United States has a long reputation for great craftsmanship here. The same goes for Germany, England, Australia and all the other major European countries. Just expect to pay for that craft. I highly honor such diligence and care for wall clocks. I think even sometimes they are a great investment if you buy a limited edition.
You can also buy a wall clock for your child’s bedroom. This is a great way to start thinking about time and numbers in general. They will be forced to understand the factor of 60 because they will stare at it every time they are in their room. Here I would go with something colorful. It’s especially captivating for them if you get a watch with one of their favorite characters, like Thomas the Train or Dora the Explorer. I guarantee that this will make them smarter. Not only that, but children’s wall clocks are usually very cheap. They are plastic and made to take a beating more than their original counterparts.
The bottom line is that you have many options. Do not buy a wall clock without considering at least a little the variety that exists.
