If you're looking for cool, stylish retro clocks, you've come to the right place!
Our design blog features one of the UK's largest collections of unusual retro wall clocks, retro kitchen clocks and funky alarm clocks. We handpick the coolest designs and special offers for your convenience and make it easy for you to choose a clock by style, colour or price. Retro flip clocks, digital, neon and LED displays, analogue clocks and station clocks and bubble clocks are some of our most popular styles.
Although we have no hard and fast rules for inclusion on our website we mainly focus on unique, well designed clocks that represent value for money and superb design. Most of the clocks we feature are from reputable manufacturers such as Karlsson, Newgate and Lexon, although we also write about one-off designer pieces and unusual innovations in the UK watch and clock industry.
We have recently started a retro clock gallery, which although a little sparse at the moment we hope will provide a useful reference for interior designers and homeowners. If you would like to submit an image please get in touch. Likewise if you have come across an interesting or unusual decoratve clock we'd love to hear about it.
