Wall clock choices are not limited to just something that keeps time. By the 17th century, wall clocks were popular luxury objects for the home. One of the most famous clocks from this era was made by Italian astronomer and physician Giovanni de’ Dondi and took approximately 16 years to complete. The wall clocks of today have come a long way from the mechanical timepieces that originated in the 14th century. Whether you want an antique timepiece or one that will match a modern motif, you are sure to find one to suit any home or office decor. The Ball clock and Sunflower clock, which were created by designer Irving Harper in George Nelson’s studio during the mid-century era, are known to design enthusiasts and have become highly collectible over the years. Wall clocks have been designed by acclaimed creators and manufacturers such as Howard Miller Clock Company, Junghans Uhren GmbH, Pragotron and more. Antique, new and vintage wall clocks have become available over the years in a diverse range of materials, such as wood, metal and glass, as well as styles from mid-century modern to Industrial.
