Tick Tock, A New Take on the Clock...

By erinloechner

So I was looking throug Clock montage a la Domino mag, old school. h old Domino mag archives this morning and came across this great photo of a Madrid city street. Love it? Definitely.

I never know what time it is in my house, and I've got a thing about hating clocks. I just never find one that I love, or I find too many that I love and they don't match... not to mention-- where the heck do you put them? Kitchen? Bathroom? Bedroom? Is it possible to have a design-worthy clock?

I thought not... until now.

Am thinking this would look good anywhere in a house, but I'm especially dreaming of a brick fireplace to hang my old time pieces.

After all, time is money-- I say give it a whirl!

interesting, although they should follow a theme, maybe being from the same time period, no pun intended. Well, no matter where your eye lands, you'll know the time and you'll know when one's batteries die, speaking of batteries, there goes a whole lot.

Manzabar and bekayem are right on. It's not really about telling time anymore. It's about the clock as an object, as a symbol. A wall crammed with old clocks that don't work. True timelessness.

But if you're hanging all those clocks for the aesthetics of it; why have them all running? Pick one clock to be the real/working clock and let the rest hang there in a glorious display.

This reminds me of a friends house. There were about 30 clocks hung on a kitchen wall. It looked great, but all the clocks one way or another get off time. Then you have to listen to the off beat "tic tic tics" and have a fun time trying to discover what time it is... it's like a game; Who knows what time it is?!

It's aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, but you can't have good design without function. My two cents.
