The Victorians turned all manner of practical items into exquisite novelty items. Our Stiletto Clock is inspired by the Victorian passion for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Bowing to developments in technology throughout the 1920s and '30s, Art Deco designers experimented with new materials, such as plastic and bakelite for their creations. The green of our clock was a particularly popular choice at this time.
The geometric shapes favoured by Art Deco designers were key to Cubism and Abstract art. Typically, the design on our clock uses abstract patterns for decorative effect.
Drawing on the archives of garden history, our traditional garden clock features the quote 'Time and tide wait for no man' and the image of a sun face.
This wall-size replica of a traditional pocket watch is printed on the face with the words Tempus fugit , the Latin for time flies , which can be found on all types of antique timepieces, from wristwatches to grandfather clocks.
