Roundup: Five Fabulous Clocks

With the multitude of ways to tell time nowadays--cell phones, computers, ipods, etc.--we still cling to the idea of a good old wall clock. There's something about the idea of a stylish timepiece in a home that we love, and aren't ready to abandon for the plentiful digital alternatives.

Check out five of our favorite clocks that we rounded up from Etsy:
• 1 Missing Time clock by CyberMoon
• 2 Large Honeycomb Modern Wall Clock by pilotdesign.
• 3 Embroidered Woodgrain clock from blissinateacup.
• 4 Poppy Red Victorienne clock by uncommon.
• 5 Tupper Time clock by Imotime.

oooooh, I love them, but my husband would throw a fit! He's a scientist & just can stand clocks without proper markings (it's at least gotta have little tick marks for each number lol).

My favorite clocks though? My pocketwatch china plates! They're always a conversation piece- as most people don't realize they're not clocks right away! :D

Form over function has reached new heights -- or depths.

These are very stylish and all (I'm especially fond of the first one), but I need a clock I can read accurately in a glance. I don't want to have to spend precious minutes figuring out where the numbers would be, if they were marked. How about a round-up of clocks that are stylish AND practical?

I love the embroidered one! I don't mind having clocks that are more art pieces than function - but I do think it's necessary to have at least a couple that you can rely on for a quick time check. eConsciousmarket.com offers a neat LED one here: http://worldofgood.ebay.com/Areaware-Numbers-LED-Clock-Yellow/250379894668/item, and BuyGreen.com has some beautiful recycled record clocks that would work well in a modern, latin or India-inspired setting: http://worldofgood.ebay.com/Mandala-Record-Clocks-Designs-Palace-Royal-Blue/270406966517/item.

Call me old fashioned, but I like a clock to be easy to understand. Though clever, those shown would cause frustration.

I still love my Big Ben replica clock I bought when I was in university. Looks good, in my opinion, and easy to read.

Etsy always has the best décor stuff....I'm fond of the embroidered one, though the hands are a bit hard to see.
