The Nork Minimalist Wall Clock is a 29 centimetre wooden circle with slim numerals, wooden hands and a matte finish that absorbs light instead of bouncing it. The result is quieter than a glass-fronted clock, both visually and literally, and it sits comfortably on a wall that already has art or shelving on it. The wooden hands are the detail that separates it from a printed dial.
A silent quartz movement runs the hands, so there is no tick to fill a quiet room, and it takes a single AA battery, not included. At 29 centimetres it reads clearly from across a living room without becoming the largest thing on the wall, which is the size most rooms actually want. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, offices, studios and cafes.
Natural wood means the tone varies slightly between pieces and warms a little with age. It is light enough for a single wall hook, so hanging it takes a minute and moving it later leaves one small hole. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from steam or damp, and dust the face with a dry cloth rather than a damp one. Hang it at eye level for the cleanest look.
