Meet the Wangen, a round wall clock that turns telling the time into a small piece of craft. Twelve wooden numerals sit raised above a warm wood grain dial, so each one catches the light and casts its own soft shadow as the day moves round. It is the kind of clock that people walk up to and look at twice.
The dial is finished in a wood grain veneer, held in a slim round frame of bent wood and bamboo with a gently curved edge. The numerals are cut in a clean, rounded type, and the tapered hands are finished to match them, so the whole face reads as one calm, considered piece rather than a printed clock face. At 32cm across, it is large enough to read from across the room without crowding a wall.
Inside is a quartz movement with a silent sweep, so there is no ticking in a quiet living room, bedroom or study. Choose a light oak tone dial with walnut tone numerals for a bright Scandinavian room, or a walnut tone dial with pale numerals for a richer, warmer wall, each with a natural or dark frame.
