Large Wall Clock...any suggestions?

[Matthew_Eames]

Just having seen this clock on another thread reminded me that I want/need a wall clock...however that one is SLIGHTLY! out of budget, dont want to spend more than say £75 for a normal clock....although I am open to a bit of indungence here and particularly If I find something I really like and is more than just a throwaway item.

However I love the idea of a LARGE oversized clock in order to fill some space on the blank wall (Off white in colour), something like an industrial clock

but on a bigger scale (anything up to 3ft diamater would work). Nice design aswell.

This one is even better

Dont really know what differences there are between any of these things, so long as it tells time well enough and looks nice I dont mind what features it has/doesnt have (date, second hand .etc)

But most importantly it must be absolutely or as close to silent as possible, I struggle to sleep with a ticking clock you see.

So......Inspire me

I quite liked this one when I saw it the other day. Good for an office or big garage

Can't help but thought I'd go for a quick hijack because I am *desperate* for this wall clock (though I have no idea how much it costs...)



If anyone has even the slightest idea where I might be able to get hold of one I'd be forever grateful!

It would have to be a Swiss railway clock for me, though it would probably have to be on a dark/black background to really work well

Friends have one that is big and cost under £40 and is retro french style but I can't find anything by googling. Would this lot help?

have a look at John Lewis on line as well.

they seem to have a good range with 'railway' style clocks and stuff by Seiko etc

Athough what they call 'big' I didn't think was that big

Junghans do some - look here:

Been keeping a bit quiet on this thread as I was negotiating a purchase of this clock from a dealer in the USA. Just bought it so fingers crossed its not another scam!

I didn't know Panerai produced so many wall clocks - There is a run down of 'em here: http://forums.vr-zone.com/miscellaneous-garage-sal...

I'm loving the lume on them!

[Dargie]

This one would blow your budget a bit! But it is stunningly big, 80cm and is back-lit by 300 LED's.

Who started this thread - lol? I woke this morning to a big crash - the wall clock came off the wall and is now an ex clock

Fabulous!

Let me know if you find out - I have no idea other than the Manufacture.

2nd this.

Habitat sell the flip over railway style clocks too.

I wouldn't bother with a "big name branded" one. Doubt the movement will be anything other than a std wall clock movement, and would personally want something more understated (in fact I have - from JL).

That can be found in a Lufthansa Lounge!!

Would I be correct in assuming that a quartz movement without a second hand will not tick?

Thanks For the suggestions guys
