A wall clock is one of the few objects you look at from across a room rather than up close, which changes the rules. Detail stops mattering. Silhouette and color do almost all the work.
The Jones movie clock has a good silhouette, a rounded rectangle with a cream face, and it comes in seven colors we stock. Here's how each one behaves on a wall.
