We love the little crescent of space beneath the dial. You can see the wall colour through the open frame, and the satin brass finish catches the light along the curve. Look a little closer and you’ll see how the black hands pick up the colour of the stepped base. It’s a small detail that ties the whole piece together.

The Roman numerals give it a classic clock face you can read at a glance. We’d give it a spot on the hall console, where it can catch your eye as you reach for your keys. It would sit just as happily on a writing desk, with room to spare for your morning coffee.
