A ticking clock is fine in a kitchen and unbearable in a bedroom. The clocks in this collection run on silent, non-ticking quartz movements, so they can hang where you sleep, work or read. They include wooden clocks with roman numerals, a moon-phase clock, a luminous clock whose hands glow at night, a wood veneer tree-ring design and modern metal faces for an office wall.
Silent movements use a sweeping second hand instead of a stepping one, which is also why they look calmer. They take a single AA battery unless the page says otherwise. Pick the size by the wall: 30 to 35 cm for a bedroom or office, 40 cm and up for a living room wall seen from across the room. The exact diameter and depth are on every product page.
All clocks, ticking or not, are in wall clocks; the rest of the wall is in wall decor.
