Does this clock have way too much going on or not enough? Or is it ‘just right’?

This mesmerizing clock is not as timeless as its name implies. Look closely and the numbers 3, 6, 9, and 12 will give you a good idea of the hour. But, based on aesthetics alone, the name may just be appropriate after all.

Some trends come and go, but it’s a pretty sure bet cuckoo clocks are here to stay. This white one has some great detailing that’s sure to add some character to whatever room you put it in.

“This modern cuckoo clock is artfully detailed in white washed wood and comes complete with stag head decoration, pine cone weights, swinging pendulum, and a cucoo bird that emerges on the hour to flap its wings and make its call. This nostalgic remake is quartz battery powered with an on/off option for the electronic cuckoo call. A charming tribute to its European origins. Uses 2 D batteries (not included).”

It’s good to see that nothing is wasted while making these modern cuckoo clocks.

The clock face elegantly floats within the negative space of the traditional cuckoo clock form, and looks gorgeous. Made of mirrored acrylic with a quartz movement (one AA battery included), and hook for easy hanging. Made in New York City.

Huh? I can’t decide if this is good or bad, but it does leave room for ideas on making your own…

“You can never get back lost time, but with this ultra-creative and modern clock you can reminisce without losing track of time. A square board adorned with vintage toys and a minute and hour hand make this timepiece an interesting sculptural and functional accent to your walls. These found objects, such as tiny stuffed animals, a cassette tape and a plastic horse, will make you smile about the past, but still keep you in the present. Limited Edition. Natural birch and hand-colored in white.”

This little birdhouse cuckoo clock houses a cuckoo who announces the time every hour, unless it’s dark out–thanks to a light sensor.

Made in Italy.
