Days may be the same for a clock, but not for a man. (Marcel Proust)

Analogue alarm clocks, wall clocks or a clock that puts time into words? Nowadays, the choice is truly vast and suits everyone's taste. Time always runs in the same way, but clocks have never stopped revolutionising and changing their appearance - and perhaps even function.

These modern furnishing accessories are no longer just used to mark the time, but also to stylistically characterise entire rooms. And precisely because today everyone looks at their smartphone display to find out what time it is, classic wall clocks have undergone a radical change. Many factors play an important role in choosing the perfect clock: is it a wall clock for the kitchen, a practical clock for the desk in the office, a clock for the children's room or a beautiful clock to decorate the living room?

Here are some examples for you to take inspiration from!

RETROFANS

The cuckoo clock is the classic stereotype of an old, outdated, outmoded clock. There are many companies, however, that have taken up the cuckoo clock and modernised it, making it relevant again. Pirondini, for example, makes numerous cuckoo clocks with innovative designs, but for lovers of the classic style, there are still some models that recall tradition, while being equipped with the best technology.

ALTERNATIVO

Are you looking for an alternative watch that goes completely outside the box? RND_Time, from Progetti, can follow all the patterns and none of them, because you decide how to compose it! 13 cubes - 1 for the hands and 12 for the numbers - that you can arrange on the wall as you please. Have fun!

ARTLOVER

Pirondini has created a line of cuckoo clocks all inspired by modern art: it is called "D'Apres" and involves artists of the calibre of Picasso, Matisse, Kandinsky or Warhol. The design is simple and essential, to highlight and emphasise the artwork represented. If you are an art lover, you cannot fail to have one of these clocks in your living room.

ECCENTRICO

A never-before-seen clock that can furnish with ease and amaze anyone who sees it for the first time: we are talking about Tiuku, by COVO, a modern pendulum clock with a fresh, clean design. It does not take up much space, so it can be placed in any context, but its scenic presence contributes to furnishing with elegance and originality.

These are just some of the beautiful designer clocks you could choose for your home: what style are you? Let us know in the comments!
