Sunset Gradient Glass Wall Clock

A glass face with a gradient finish running across it, so the colour deepens from one edge to the other rather than sitting flat. Glass is what makes the gradient work: it has depth, and the colour appears to be within the material rather than printed on the surface.

Two dial options change the character considerably. With figures it is a straightforward clock that happens to be beautiful. Without figures it reads as a piece of coloured glass art with hands on it, which suits a wall where the time matters less than the object does.

Three colourways. Orange is the warmest and closest to an actual sunset. Blue is coolest and calmest. Purple sits between the two and is the most unusual. The glass is toughened for everyday safety, and the frame is a slim metal ring that keeps the face free of visual clutter. Running on a single AA battery, the movement needs no mains connection, so it can go on any wall without trailing a cable. All three use a quiet movement, so there is no ticking in a bedroom or a study. Hang it where daylight can pass across the face, since that is when the gradient looks best.
