Watch as an element of style
The classic style is a clock enclosed in a wooden case, a carved or metal decor is allowed. The classic wall clock has a round shape, a dial with Roman numbers, without elaborate decor. Floor models of walkers are also designed in the same style.

The modern direction is more variable: the numbers can be both Roman and Arabic, the arrows are straight, and the case with the correct geometric outlines.
Modern watches are not always equipped with arrows, and the basis for the dial is both a classic plane and unique designer finds (wood cut, a naked wall, stencils, etc.).
In the style of minimalism
In Hi-Tech, electronic options made of glass, metal or plastic are welcome. Sometimes the chronometer does not have a traditional case, and the arrows are attached directly to the wall. The technological clock is more functional and equipped with a temperature sensor, barometer, humidity and other options, up to the connection to the smartphone.
In the style of high-tech
In the industrial style, you can apply minimalistic options (only arrows on the wall) and vintage models made of metal or wood.
Designer recommendations
In order for the functional accessory to look organically in the situation, we recommend that you listen to the advice of professionals:
-
Minimalistic or classic models are hung on the accent wall, the naked wall is harmoniously complemented by designer or decorated watches
-
Observe the height of the installation or installation of the clock: a comfortable option – 170 cm from the floor
-
It is important to evaluate the convenience of using the clock and determine the point where the clock will always be visible
-
Correctly select the size of the chronometer: the large watch looks great on a large empty wall, while in small space they will interfere and look ridiculous.
