Watches have always been an integral part of every person's life. But with the beginning of the 21st century and the advent of a huge number of cell phones and gadgets, ordinary watches suddenly turned into a relic of the past. Although it was they who allowed to live and keep up with the times! Wristwatches were removed to the far corners of shelves and cabinets, and wall clocks remained hanging and at the same time living out their last “days”. But fashion suddenly returned everything to normal! Stylish wrist watches have become a fashion accessory, and elegant wall clocks have become a highlight of many interiors.
Wall clock as a decor center
Today, none of the design styles is complete without the use of small details that are designed to emphasize the interior or even become the center of the room. These can be purchased vintage figurines, or they can be handmade in the macrame style. One of these interior details that can attract attention and surprise is the clock.
Mechanical and electronic, classic and modern, all types of watches have returned to the shelves to become a unique part of the elegant interior and take center stage in it. Wall clocks can fit perfectly into the loft style, when there are several classic clocks on the brick “unfinished” wall, showing the current time in different time zones.
Choice of watch style
When choosing a wall clock, the first thing you need to pay attention to is the quality of the mechanism. After all, such a watch should:
- serve for a long time and work properly;
- be unpretentious in care, and
- do not require regular lubrication of the mechanical mechanism.
Otherwise, the central element of the decor will turn into a problem. Electronic watches can be the best choice for those who prefer to take care of them with a minimum of time. They may only require a new power source from their owner, while mechanical watches will need cleaning and lubrication of the entire movement. And this means that you can not do without the help of a qualified master.
The size and shape of the watch is also not the last value. So, for example, large clocks are not suitable for small rooms, as they visually reduce the space. And decorative clocks made in an unusual shape of flowers or butterflies are not suitable for the office and work areas.Speaking about the style of the clock, it is necessary to mention the fact that they must correspond to the general style of the room in which they will be located.
Do-it-yourself watch
A great way to draw the attention of households and guests to the wall clock is to decorate the clock mechanism on its own, as well as the background on which it is located. Using simple improvised materials (paper, cardboard, thread, glue, and much more), you can create not just a unique wall clock, but a real masterpiece of the art world! To do this, you only need a clockwork, a little imagination and a couple of hours of time.
