No batteries? Yes please.

Like its friend the Sun Jar, this handy solar powered clock is handsome as it is practical and eco-friendly. With a smart and simple solar panel on its front it’s a far cry from the days of those dodgy calculators you had to crouch under a bright light to use. But as well as being functional this little clock has a clean and unfussy design that lets you stand it up whichever way you want. To boot, its solar power means that you’ll never be caught in the twilight zone wondering what the time really is after a night-time power cut.

Floating hands tell the time in either classic or modern styling. Be sure to take note of the dimensions though, they’re pretty big.

The ultimate in simplicity, this clock has been stripped down to its most essential element- its hands. Striking, modern, minimal and functional.

While some of you might firmly put this clock into the ‘for-science-type-kids’ folder, I think it could work in a less-serious/non-stuffy modern interior…so anyways, here’s the main question, if this other clock is the same one, then why the big price difference? The hands look a tiny bit different, and the ‘brushed silver’ frame of course, but as far as the face and size it’s the same. (Can you tell I get annoyed when there are price discrepancies?)

Debate the classification of planets while being punctual…The black face is silk screened with planetary bodies and their orbits, all centered around the sun.

If you need to keep track of all 24 time zones all the time, maybe this is something that would help…but, keep in mind, it’s from the UK, so if you’re somewhere else you’ll have to mess with power cord/adapter issues.

Does this clock have way too much going on or not enough? Or is it ‘just right’?

This mesmerizing clock is not as timeless as its name implies. Look closely and the numbers 3, 6, 9, and 12 will give you a good idea of the hour. But, based on aesthetics alone, the name may just be appropriate after all.

Some trends come and go, but it’s a pretty sure bet cuckoo clocks are here to stay. This white one has some great detailing that’s sure to add some character to whatever room you put it in.

“This modern cuckoo clock is artfully detailed in white washed wood and comes complete with stag head decoration, pine cone weights, swinging pendulum, and a cucoo bird that emerges on the hour to flap its wings and make its call. This nostalgic remake is quartz battery powered with an on/off option for the electronic cuckoo call. A charming tribute to its European origins. Uses 2 D batteries (not included).”

It’s good to see that nothing is wasted while making these modern cuckoo clocks.
