{"product_id":"abstract-wall-clock-with-warped-face-silent-movement-optional-pendulum","title":"Abstract Wall Clock with Warped Face, Silent Movement, Optional Pendulum","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wall clock whose outline has started to melt: a soft black and cream round that swells out on the right and sags into one rounded drop at the lower right, as if it had been hung a little too close to the fire. It runs on a silent quartz movement, and it comes with a black ring pendulum that swings beneath it, or without one if you prefer it plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo ticking. No glass over the face.

The harder thing is finding one that gives a wall something to look at, because most of what is on offer is a plain circle behind glass, bought for the numbers and nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one works the other way round. From across the room the warped black band reads as a graphic shape, closer to a print or a mirror than to a kitchen timepiece, and the time is right there whenever you look for it. It suits a hallway, a living room or a study, anywhere a stretch of bare wall could use one strong shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo layers, twelve numbers and one deliberate drip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built in two flat layers of MDF and acrylic. A deep matte black board is cut to the warped outline, and a warm cream face cut to the same shape sits on top of it, a little proud, so an even black band runs all the way round. Only the outline is warped; the whole thing hangs flat against the wall like a picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe twelve numerals are set in a tall, high-contrast serif, and each one leans at its own angle, as though the warp had pulled them along with it. The 12 and the 6 stand straight, while the 9 and the 10 have nearly tipped onto their sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo slim leaf-shaped hands turn from a small mustard yellow center dot, a black one for the hours and an off-white one for the minutes. With no glass in front, nothing catches the light from a window and the face stays matte from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet enough for the bedroom wall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz movement is silent, so the hands move round without a tick and nobody lies awake counting seconds. That makes it easy to live with above a headboard, beside a reading chair or in a study where you want the room to stay quiet. It runs on AA batteries, which are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith the pendulum, or without\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe With Pendulum style adds a flat off-white rod and a black ring that hang beneath it, and once its batteries are in, the ring swings gently from side to side on a movement of its own. It becomes the one moving thing in the room, which is why it looks best on a hallway or living room wall with clear space beneath it. This style takes two AA batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Without Pendulum style is the clock alone, a little calmer, and it fits more easily over a desk, a console or a bed where there is less wall to spare. Both come in Small and Large, and the exact figures are in the specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhichever you pick, the wall gets one strong shape, and the time is there every time you glance up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eType: Analog wall clock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyles: With Pendulum, a black ring on a flat off-white rod that swings side to side below the clock; Without Pendulum, the clock alone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: MDF and acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction: Two flat layers, a cream face raised on a black board\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutline: Warped, with one rounded drop at the lower right\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrame: Matte black band\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFace: Warm cream, matte, no glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumerals: 1 to 12, black serif, each set at its own angle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands: Black hour hand, off-white minute hand, yellow center dot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond hand: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: Silent quartz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePendulum: With Pendulum style only, driven by its own movement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower: AA batteries, not included; the With Pendulum style takes two\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall dimensions: 11 x 11.8 in (28 x 30 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge dimensions: 13 x 14 in (33 x 35 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured: Width x height of the clock itself, not including the pendulum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes apply to: Both styles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting: Wall mounted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1x Abstract Wall Clock, with or without pendulum as chosen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2x Screws\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2x Wall plugs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2x Wall hooks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ridgewell Living","offers":[{"title":"With Pendulum \/ Small - 11 x 11.8 in","offer_id":67895080026408,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Pendulum \/ Large - 13 x 14 in","offer_id":67895080059176,"sku":null,"price":226.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Without Pendulum \/ Small - 11 x 11.8 in","offer_id":67895080091944,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Without Pendulum \/ Large - 13 x 14 in","offer_id":67895080124712,"sku":null,"price":226.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9430\/5064\/files\/01-abstract-wall-clock-with-pendulum-studio.png?v=1791986711","url":"https:\/\/ridgewellliving.com\/en-au\/products\/abstract-wall-clock-with-warped-face-silent-movement-optional-pendulum","provider":"Ridgewell Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
