Types of wall clocks, their pros and cons

The market is replete with various types of wall clocks, depending on the form of the technical characteristics. In order to optimally select them, it is necessary to determine their type in order to harmoniously fit into the interior of the kitchen. Watch cases can have different shapes, most often manufacturers use the classic round shape for the dial, square cases are a little less popular, and fancy-shaped cases are even less common (designer cases may not have cases as such). The clock can act as an addition to the drawing in the kitchen.

The watch can be either electric or with a winding mechanism.

  • Also, the color of the body plays an important role, in order to maintain the stylistic unity of the kitchen, it is necessary to select the color according to the body of kitchen appliances (fortunately, there are completely different colors on the market, their combination, so it will not be difficult to find a suitable range). The simplest design option is drawing on the watch glass with acrylic paints.
  • Also, one of the parameters of choice is the material of the case and watch numbers – the most common material is ordinary practical plastic, which will not fade over time and which is quite easy to clean from dust. Plastic cases are massively used in inexpensive copies, and in models of the middle and high price segment, glossy or matte-coated plastic is used. Metal or wood of various species is also often used as a material. Metal predominates as a design attribute in high-tech watches, and wood is used in a classic design and gives significance and weight to the structure (valuable wood species can significantly increase the cost of a structure).
  • Also, various materials can be used in the decoration of numbers and arrows, from simple painted plastic to metal and wood. Also, the market is replete with various shapes of hands and dials – this parameter is completely diverse from ordinary Arabic numerals or Roman numerals to various symbols and signs. Different shapes offer great variety and can suit all tastes depending on the type of device.

In the general interior of the kitchen, all the little things are important, including glass for kitchen facades.
