A wall clock typically falls into one of two categories. There are the practical and easy-to-read ones, the most quintessential example being the kind you’d find in a high-school classroom. Then, there are the abstract clocks that might take a few more seconds (sorry) to read but function more like a hanging piece of wall art. (If you ask me, the classic cuckoo clock falls into both categories.) With that said, there are a lot of less-than-attractive styles out there — from the overly kitschy to the dreadfully sterile — so I braved the internet to find a slew of options to suit all sorts of tastes, from kindercore-ish ones to clocks that would fit right in to a Scandinavian-inspired living room.
