Clock Buying Guide

Heal's has a large range of Wall Clocks in all shapes, sizes and colours to suit both contemporary and classic interiors. For retro styles that draw inspiration from a bygone era try a Metro Wall Clock or a Newgate Electric Clock. Large wall clocks make a really bold statement and can be the focal point of a room. Why not take a look at the Newgate Billingsgate Clock or the a href=http://www.heals.co.uk/invt/934055/>Newgate Postmaster Clock.

Still hugely popular, the Cuckoo Clock adds a touch of eccentricity to a room. These quirky clocks originated from Germany in the 19th Century. Heal's offers modern, designer interpretations of the traditional Cuckoo Clock as both wall and mantle clocks. Diamantini & Domeniconi have designed a 2D version of the traditional Cuckoo Clock which is available in a range of finished including a Walnut Finish. These designers have also updated the mantle clock and created an oversized statement Cuckoo Clock.

Heal's is well known for selling innovative contemporary products. If you are looking for something a little bit different why not consider a Pendulo Wall Clock, or a contemporary classic, the Innermost Ghost Clock by Yee-Ling Wan. Contemporary clocks can also introduce a colour injection into any room such as the bright Butterfly Clock by Diamantini & Domeniconi.

Clocks can be fun, colourful and inspiring and are perfect for a children's bedroom or nursery. Our contemporary designs will also still look great as the child grows up and can also be used in other areas of the home. Omar The Owl is a classic design by George Nelson from the 1950's, or how about a bright fun design like the Peekaboo Cow Kids Clock.

When is comes to alarm clocks, there are plenty of options - from simple, portable analogue designs to digital radio alarm clocks. Below are examples of the various features you may need to consider when purchasing an alarm clock:

Analogue & Digital: An analogue clock uses hour and minute hands to tell time, while a digital alarm clock uses an electronic LED or liquid crystal display. While LED displays show clearly at night, make sure that the analogue or liquid crystal displays can be illuminated if you want to be able to read the time easily in the dark.

Radio-Controlled: Radio-controlled clocks are fitted with a receiver that picks up a precise radio time signal from the automatic clock. They also self adjust at the start/end of British Summer time.

Travel Alarm Clocks Compact, lightweight and battery operated, our range of travel alarm clocks will look stylish by your bedside whether at home or on your travels. Choose from simple analogue clocks and digital clocks offering a range of functions such as snooze, date and temperature such as the Jet Lag Alarm Clock

Ideal for any room of the house, or office, these clocks also feature all you need to know to plan your day weather wise. Displaying indoor and outdoor temperatures, the weather stations are radio controlled so the time never needs adjusting. The Crystal Weather Forecaster is the world's first weather station with laser engraved icons that change colour depending on the weather.
