City Hall Clock

Filed under: Decor, Timepieces / Watches

Simple is often better, and these days it's surprising that often simple is also more expensive. Take this rather plain looking City Hall Clock for example. From Arne Jacobsen it was designed back in 1955 for the Rødovre City Hall in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is one of those situations where I'm sure you could find a more inexpensive look-alike in a department store, but if having an original with the designer's name means something to you then this clock will too. With clean black lines and small circles to designate numbers and minutes, this large but simple clock could make a surprisingly dramatic statement. 17.5" diameter, $441.

Diamonds Wall Clock

Despite the name, the Diamonds Wall Clock has no real diamonds on it. The twelve crystals marking every hour are large Swarovski crystals, and they are still strikingly beautiful, just with a much lower price tag. The face of the clock is made from stainless steel, a setting which enhances the reflectivity of the stones and when the light catches it, few will think about the fact that the "diamonds" aren't real ones. Price: $198.
