Anysize Clock

2-3-09-anysize-clock.jpg

The Anysize clock operates on a simple concept we are very familiar with: mount the clock hands to the way, and stick the adhesive numbers around them as close in or far out as you please. While the plainness alone has its own appeal, we'd like to see something like this combined with a wall decal or other decor.

 
 

The clock comes with a template if you want to make sure the numbers are hung straight, to avoid OCD-related aggravation.

I can never find a clock I really like! Ikea had a horrible selection last time I was there also.

At least this one matches any decor.

No... the typeface is neither here nor there. Maybe if you just used dots or knobs for the numbers.

i was just thinking about combining a wall decal with a clock like this. I just happen to have a vinyl cutter at my disposal too. I just need to find where to get attractive clock mechanisms to stick on the wall with since most are fugly.

Anyone interested?

The big hand is almost 20 inches. I don't know about "any size", that's a 45 inch diameter including numbers. I am trying to picture it with the numbers smaller than that and it looks pathetic. The materials seem kind of cheap. It is a novelty, and about $55 US. I also thought we weren't going to offhand remark about OCD. I haven't seen it pop up in a while. If someone likes this, clock parts and mechanisms are probably easier to make your own clock, any size you really want to make it.

I like the concept but would definitely use a wall decor. Plus, being someone with a bit (okay a LOT) of OCD tendencies, I hope the photographed clock wasn't mounted using the template. The 3 and the 9 are too close to the middle and so don't form a perfect circle.

Beware of these clocks. They stop frequently and the correct time of day is difficult to adjust because of the large hands. I just finally gave up on ours.

I had one of these but I believe it was from a different company- Urban Outfitters sold it a few years ago....we put it up on the walls but it fell off twice and finally broke.... oh well.

Zelco makes one with just dots, but it gets mixed reviews.
