Cool wall clocks I'm in need of a wall clock for my place and found this site. They're a teensy bit pricey for me, but they are cool. Decisions, decisions...

These are very cool. I love the phone, and the coffee cup and the frying pan. And the sunbursts. I always like sunbursts.

Some of those are just way too abstract for me. I did like the phone and the sunbursts though.

I like the "Strike" design, but it runs backwards which I really don't want to be dealing with first thing in the morning.

Those are awesome. I'd love to have the "Astro" or "Quasar" ones.

Melting clock from, of all places, Bed Bath & Beyond. (I prefer the more retro look, myself.)

They usually gots good clocks at Target.

No Target in the UK, HJ. Or, apparently Pee Buttons!

I plan on making one of these...

With a little help from here!

Those are absolutely beautiful clocks but I'm not a woodworker so I'd make a complete ass of any of those designs. If you make one, you should absolutely post photos here.

I like the phone and the pot and the Clyde. Oooh, and the steaming coffee cup. (Does anyone else despise the non-word "cuppa?") Tower is really neat. The gas pump one is just too depressing with gas prices these days.

I think it depends on where you're putting it. What room are you putting it in? :)

I have a teeny tiny place so it's going in the combined kitchen/living room thing. I have an ideal spot for the Roman Wheel, but wow is that expensive. I can't afford it, but it's lovely.

Oh, and no whinging about fuel prices! Check out the ones in the UK (the search is for London, but national prices are all pretty similar).

Not whining... just saying, who wants to look at a gas pump clock and be reminded!!

Hmm, well obviously any of the food/drink designs would work well in a kitchen area.

It's hard to choose with so many, but I think my absolute favorite is the Galaxy.

Yeah, it's really hard to choose. If I had a spare £420.00 (!), I'd get Dos Puntos. But I don't.

Yeah, unless you're an oil baron, I can't see a pump being something you particularly want on show!
