Wall clocks

Wall clocks can be found in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom or office - in almost every room. Nowadays, it is extremely important that we have a clear view of the time, regardless of the style - because punctuality is the be-all and end-all, especially at work. However, wall clocks are not only timepieces, but also serve as decorative accessories that decorate any room. It doesn't matter what design or style you have in mind - there is a suitable wall clock for every taste. Take a look at our extensive range and order a clock that meets your needs.

What is a wall clock needed for?

Wall clocks are absolutely practical – they are a real eye-catcher and the time is always in view. This eye-catcher should not be missing in your home or office. It doesn't matter in which room the wall clocks brighten up the home. Whether in the bathroom or bedroom as an alarm clock to get you going on the dot, in the living room and dining room even as a pendulum clock as a tasteful eye-catcher or in the kitchen or children's room. Because the classic wall clock always reliably shows you the time and is therefore an important accessory in everyday life. The clock is usually mounted directly on the wall using screws. Some models are also equipped with a stand, which makes it possible to convert the wall clock into a table clock. Also known for wall clocks: The railway station on the way to work. Wall clocks are particularly practical as station clocks. Special functions are also possible and available. For example, modern clocks have a weather station or a calendar. In addition, wall clocks are now available in many different shapes, colours, designs and sizes.

What types of wall clocks are there

Wall clocks already differ in terms of the clockwork. In addition to the radio-controlled movement, there is also a quartz movement. We explain the differences between the two types below.

Quartz wall clock

The quartz wall clock is the most common form of time measurement. These clocks are equipped with an electrical oscillator, which in turn contains small quartz crystals. An oscillation is generated with the help of alternating voltage. The resulting oscillation frequency serves as a clock for the movement. This procedure is very precise and much more accurate than is the case with a mechanical timepiece. One disadvantage of quartz watches is that they have to be adjusted occasionally. Adjusting the time to winter time and summer time also has to be done manually.

Radio-controlled wall clock

Strictly speaking, analogue radio-controlled clocks are also quartz clocks. This is because they also have an oscillator equipped with a quartz crystal. However, this watch is also able to receive a radio signal. This ensures that the time is set automatically. A radio-controlled clock does not have to be set manually. Time changes (summer and winter) are also carried out completely automatically with a radio-controlled clock. These clocks also display the time very precisely. If the wall clocks are mounted higher up on the wall of your home or room, for example, there is no longer any need for time-consuming repositioning. Radio-controlled wall clocks are particularly practical for flats in the style of old buildings.

Analogue or digital – these wall clocks are available

Wall clocks can generally be divided into digital and analogue clocks. In the following, we would like to help you decide and explain the advantages and disadvantages of digital and analogue clocks.

Analogue watches

In general, analogue watches are very popular because of their individual look and slightly nostalgic charm. Similar to an old railway station clock, the time is displayed with a decorative clock hand. The dial, which is usually very elaborately decorated, is also visually appealing. The hands themselves are also available in different styles, whether metal or plastic, ornate or very plain. The mechanical movement used in analogue wall clocks produces the traditional ticking sound. This creates a cosy ambience.

Digital clocks

Digital and radio-controlled clocks are characterised by their accuracy. They display the time very precisely using digits and it is also easy to adjust the time to winter time or summer time. The clocks are usually updated by radio and powered by batteries. This means that manual time changes are no longer necessary. These wall clocks are particularly practical as alarm clocks, as the automatic time change means that nothing can go wrong. The digital clock display is also a real plus point. The illuminated display usually shows hours, minutes and seconds in very legible digits. When it comes to legibility, digital watches can certainly impress.

Analogue-digital wall clocks

The market is constantly evolving and there are now also clocks that are equipped with an analogue-digital display. This means that the timepieces can utilise both display formats. In addition to the typical dial, they also have a digital display. The time is usually adjusted automatically.

What special functions do wall clocks offer?

Wall clocks are no longer just simple timepieces. Modern office clocks do much more. There are various special functions that are particularly useful when working in the office. These can be the following features:

• Calendar display (date, day of the week, year and moon phase)
• Temperature display (for indoor and outdoor temperature)
• Weather display (current weather conditions and weather forecast and display)
• Display stand (so wall clocks can be transformed into table clocks)
• Lit display (the clock display is then particularly easy to read)

What material are wall clocks made from?

A wall clock for the workplace must of course be suitable for the conditions. As a rule, it makes sense to have a robust and durable wall clock. Classic clocks for the wall are usually made of plastic. The advantage of plastic clocks is that they are robust and waterproof. This means that these clocks can also be used where the humidity is somewhat higher. The frame material can also be made of wood, stainless steel and other materials. It all depends on the design. In this respect, you enjoy freedom of choice and can select a suitable model for your workplace that will impress with both quality and appearance.

Which wall clock fits into the office?

Wall clocks should not only display the time. Ideally, they should also fit into the office and enhance the ambience with their design. There are many motifs to choose from to suit every taste. Wall clocks should not be too small. The advantage of large clocks is that they can be seen from anywhere, even in a large room. The time can therefore still be read at a certain distance. You can go wild with the colour. Do you prefer it plain and discreet? Or are you looking for colourful wall clocks that always show you the time and also act as a decorative eye-catcher? Some clocks are also equipped with decorated clock faces - the choice of motifs is very diverse. Plain-coloured dials are also available. From discreet to colourful, you always have the choice of which clock should adorn your wall in the future. Whether it's a kitchen clock, an office clock or a wall clock for the living room - when it comes to style, you can look forward to variety.
