Share
Both of these clocks borrow from watch design, but they look quite different on a wall. If you are choosing between them, here is a clear comparison based on the details we list for each one.
Octagon Designer Wall Clocks
The Octagon Designer Wall Clock in Black & White is $88. It has an octagonal bezel inspired by classic sport watches and a clean black dial, and you can choose crown placement on top or on the right side. The Blue version is $81 with a textured blue dial and silver accents. Both are 10" across, use a quartz silent sweep movement, and run on 1 AA battery that is not included.
GMT Dual-Time Wall Clock
The GMT Dual-Time Wall Clock is $100 and 10" across. It has a dual-time bezel with 24-hour numbering, bold luminous-style hour markers and hands, and a sweeping second hand. You choose the bezel color: blue and red, black and blue, black and red, or black and green.
