Here’s a collection of clocks that really know how to make an entrance! Unless you’re very lucky, a hallway isn’t a room in the usual sense of the word – but it is the ‘portal’ to your home; the first thing (and sometimes the only thing) visitors see when you open the front door. There was a time when a grandfather clock greeted guests and chimed on the hour – and there’s still something reassuring about a stately clock in the hall to keep the household running to time. Your hallway décor doesn’t have to be fustily old-fashioned to recapture that vibe, though. The Evening Star Skeleton’s mediaeval-inspired look with a modern twist makes a stunning addition to any entrance – or how about the Greenwich Timekeeper, Greenwich Club and Oxford ranges, for instance, which make terrific hallway focal points with their glamorous contemporary take on a time-honoured design tradition in large and oversize variants.

Then again, for an uncluttered, cool and contemporary welcoming space, the eye-catching large and oversized Linear clocks with their ingenious trompe l’oeil effect in teal or gold provide an instant and enduring ‘Wow factor’. What’s more, there’s a huge choice between those two extremes, including the ever-popular Arabic range with evocatively named face colours such as Dolphin, Cool Mink, Hedgerow and Honey, the sophisticated Mulberry range with metallic numerals and hands and so many more!
