Don't Miss these Unique Wall Clocks

Make these six sources for unique wall clocks your starting point in your quest for an unusual clock unlike any other. You won't waste your time. At the very least, you will have examples to measure other clocks against.

Our brains notice patterns. We notice that most clocks have 12 points on the circle, usually marked with numbers. We "know" what a clock is supposed to look like. That's why we notice when clocks, and other objects in our lives, don't look "normal." That not-quite-the-expected look endows items, including clocks, with that unique "feel."

Flea Market Brainstorming

When you're looking for unique wall clocks but don't quite know exactly what, take a look at eBay. It's a great place to get ideas about what's available. You could even find something you love!

Where to Buy

The Artful Home offers some truely magnificent clocks for your walls. Take a gander at Janna Ugone's ceramic clocks. She loves lamp making. Her clocks, too, show her artisitic talents. The wood clocks by Peter Deller excite my sense of beauty as well. You will find the choices few in number at Artful Home, but how could it be otherwise if they're unique?!

Maverick Creations says "it's about time." They too make available clocks by artists. Each clock is signed by the artist. Again, you won't find mass-produced items here. These unusual wall clocks are one-off and "few-off" (if there's such a saying). Choose from among categories such as Americana, leather, Southwestern, stars and floral, animal, whimsical, weird and others.

Do you like stone? Check out the unique wall clocks created from natural stone at PebbleZ.com. Each clock is unique as only nature can create. One clock created by artist Minerva Stone - is that her real name - called the Mugla Cloud is a bit whimsical and, to me, looks a little ghostly. It is marble on black granite.

The website for Infinity Arts Gallery in Portland, Oregon offers one-of-a-kind "Art Clocks" in categories - these'll be new to you - such as Sidebar Series, Block Clocks, Rings and Circles and Freestyle. They are equal parts color, whimsy and shape.

Unique Decor Online also offers unusual wall clocks created by artists and shipped direct from their studios to your home. Handcrafted, each of the clocks is its own version. Select one from such themes as animal, bistro and cafe, ceramic, kids, round, novelty and tropical.

Similar to the above sources, The Atik offers art that also happens to tell time for you. They like to think of it as "measuring time with style." Don't miss the clocks on their "Miscellaneous" link such as Flower Garden, Blue Shooting Stars and Fall Colors. On the "Unique Design" link locate such beauties as Sunrise, Facing the World and Spring Symphony. You wouldn't think clocks could be so beautiful!
