It could be using any random item, incorporating treasured possessions or even using a simple base then getting creative with paint, fabrics or other materials – but with clock mechanisms so easy to get hold of, it’s easy to turn anything into an object which shows the time.

Pick up great clock mechanisms from Amazon, HobbyCraft, and Ebay. Search for unusual items with flat centres to turn into suitable clock bases – plates, records, cork, baskets, or get something cut to size. Or ensure the mechanism is aesthetically pleasing on its own and use interesting items to create the clock face – photos, figures, colours, string, simple dots… vary materials, or match to current interiors, or use off cuts of wood, tile or metal from other projects.

With midcentury designs in furniture and Danish style being so popular currently we love this perfect modern reproduction of a Sputnik clock from high street favourite Marks & Spencer. 

‘With polished teak spokes and a spun aluminium dial, this clock gives a nod to Seventies design for retro statement style.’

Across the high street midcentury pieces are being produced and the styles from the era are influencing a lot of homewares and furniture. The great colours, fabric choices, wood tones and structures are desirable and homeware stores have got some great pieces.

Head to Marks and Spencer, Habitat, Heals, IKEA and Cult Furniture for easy midcentury-style finds but also look to search eBay for originals, reproductions and pieces that can be given a modern edge.

We love these Koppel wall clocks from Georg Jensen. Danish designer Henning Koppel created this collection of wall clocks back in 1978 for the contemporary, modern home. They have now become timepiece classics.

Available in four colours these clocks would look great in a hall way or kitchen. Our favourites are the copper and white for its on trend fresh feel and the monochrome black and white for its timeless appeal.

We love this black and brass wall clock from Rockett St George. It’s simple design really stands out and it is a beautiful piece to look at.
It would sit perfectly against a dark blue, green or aubergine wall in a living room or office.
Perhaps hang it mixed with other wall decor like mirrors and pictures, creating impact.
