What is an unusual wall clock?

An unusual wall clock is a clock designed to be looked at, not just read: a face made of equations, gears that turn in the open, a melting Dalí dial, hands that run backwards, a moon phase or an astronomical dial. All of ours keep time with a silent quartz movement on a single AA battery; the unusual part is the face. Sizes run from 25 cm desk pieces to 60 cm statement clocks.

Who is this collection for?

🕰️

For a wall that needs a talking point

A gear clock, a backwards clock or a maths clock is decor first and a joke or a lesson second. It fills the space above a desk or a sofa.

🎁

For a teacher, an engineer or a new home

A maths clock for a teacher, a gear clock for an engineer, a minimalist one for a housewarming. Unusual, useful, and never duplicated.

🧮

For anyone who enjoys a puzzle every time they check the time

The equation clocks and the binary clocks are for people who like their objects to make them think.

How to choose an unusual wall clock

Pick the idea first (maths, mechanics, art, astronomy), then the size for the wall. A 30 cm clock suits a kitchen or a study; 45 cm and up needs a living room wall.

TypeBest forSizePrice

One AA battery, not included, drives all of them. Mounting is a single hook on the back; heavier models specify the wall anchor to use.

The science in two lines

A quartz crystal vibrates 32,768 times a second when a small current runs through it; a chip counts those vibrations and steps the hands once a second. That is why a £30 clock keeps time to a few seconds a month, whatever the face says.

Unusual Wall Clocks: your questions, answered

Most take a single AA battery, not included. The lit and gear models list their power source on the product page.
The quartz movement is silent or near-silent. On the models where the gears turn visibly, the motion is smooth and quiet.
From 25 cm desk sizes to 60 cm statement pieces. Diameter is on every product page, with a photo in a room for scale.
Yes. Each hour is a small equation whose answer is the hour. Most people work it out within a minute, which is the point.
A single screw or nail hook on the back. Fixings are usually included; heavier models specify the wall anchor to use.

Free UK delivery over £45 and 30 days to return it. For a clock that glows instead of hangs, see the Nixie tube clocks.
