A Wide Oval Clock for Low Wall Space

Most wall clocks use a round format, so their height matches their width. This design uses an ellipse instead, measuring 800mm across and only 300mm tall. The proportions suit long, shallow areas of wall above a sideboard, sofa or run of units, where a large circular clock could take up more vertical space. The face is snow white glass, framed by a slim wood finish rim and finished with gold hands. The only numerals on the dial are 12 and 6.

What the White Oval Wall Clock Offers

  • Elliptical shape: 800mm wide and 300mm tall, giving the clock a horizontal rather than vertical format.
  • White glass front: a flat, faintly reflective face with a bright white appearance.
  • Timber edge: a slim warm rim follows the full outline and adds contrast around the white face.
  • Gold hands and markers: the strongest colour on the piece, creating clear contrast against the white dial.
  • 12 and 6 alone: no full ring of numerals, leaving the rest of the face uncluttered.
  • Sawtooth fixing: 2.6kg on a single fixing point, requiring a stud or a suitably rated wall plug.

A Dial With Almost Nothing on It

Ten of the twelve hours are left without numerals, leaving only 12 and 6 as reference points. The time is read from the position of the hands, while the limited markings keep the dial visually simple from a distance. At closer range, the main details are the white glass, gold accents and grain of the rim, without a full set of printed numerals across the face.

The Rooms This Clock Suits

Suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, hallways and bedrooms where there is more horizontal than vertical wall space available. It can sit above a sideboard or console, over a sofa, along a landing or on the free wall at the end of a kitchen. The combination of white, gold and warm timber works with contemporary, modern and pared-back schemes while keeping the overall appearance restrained. For ideas on arranging a wall around a single wide feature, our media wall ideas guide explores how the different elements can work together.

Why an Oval Fits a Wall a Circle Cannot

A round clock uses the same measurement for both height and width. Increasing its width also increases its height, which can make the space above a sideboard, headboard or row of kitchen units harder to use. An ellipse separates those dimensions. This clock measures 800mm across and 300mm high, giving it a broad horizontal format without the same vertical height.

The White Oval Wall Clock in Full

  • Elliptical case: 800mm wide and 300mm tall, made from MDF with a glass front.
  • Snow white face: a glass surface rather than printed board, keeping the front flat and clean.
  • Timber edge: a slim warm-toned rim running around the full outline of the ellipse.
  • Gold hands: slim, tapered and the strongest colour on the dial.
  • Minimal markings: only 12 and 6 are printed, leaving the remaining hours unmarked.
  • Quiet movement: powered by one AA battery, with no pendulum or anything hanging below the case.

Only Two Numbers on the Dial

Most of the hours are left unmarked, with only 12 and 6 printed on the face. The position of the hands provides the main indication of the time, while the two opposite numerals act as fixed reference points. Leaving the other ten hours unnumbered keeps the dial visually simple. From a distance, the face remains uncluttered, while closer viewing reveals the white surface and gold detail.

Glass and Timber, Doing Different Jobs

The glass front gives the face a flat surface with a faint sheen from the light in the room. Around it, the timber edge introduces a warmer tone. The rim is narrow rather than chunky, giving the outline definition against a pale wall without making timber the dominant material in the design.

Where This Clock Works Best

The wide, shallow proportions suit wall areas with more width than height. Possible positions include above a sideboard or console, over a sofa, along a landing, above a headboard or on the free section of wall at the end of a kitchen. The combination of white, gold and timber also works with contemporary and modern schemes while keeping the overall appearance restrained.

Before It Goes on the Wall

  • Battery not supplied: 1 x AA, using a fresh alkaline battery rather than a part-used cell.
  • Fix it properly: at 2.6kg with a glass front and single sawtooth hanger, use a wall plug or a stud.
  • Check it is level: the horizontal proportions can make an uneven position easier to notice.
  • Allow the width: at 800mm wide, measure the available wall space before fixing.

FAQs: White Oval Wall Clock.

How big is the white oval wall clock?

800mm wide, 300mm tall and 52mm deep, weighing 2.6kg. That is wider than a typical round wall clock but considerably shorter, which is what allows it to sit on a low run of wall.

Why choose an oval clock over a round one?

A circle needs as much height as width, so making it large enough to read from across a room also makes it tall. An ellipse separates the two measurements. This clock gives the width that makes the time legible while staying only 300mm high, which keeps it usable above a sideboard, sofa or headboard.

Is the face glass or printed board?

Glass. The white face sits flat behind a glazed front, which keeps the surface clean, gives it a faint sheen under room light and makes it easy to wipe with a soft dry cloth.

Why are only 12 and 6 marked on the dial?

The eye reads a clock by the angle of the hands rather than by the numerals, and two opposite reference points are enough to fix that angle. Leaving the other ten hours unmarked keeps the face almost empty, so the gold hands are the only thing on it.

What colour are the hands and markings?

Gold. The hands are slim and tapered, and the markings are minimal, so gold is the only strong colour against the snow white face and the warm timber edge.

What is the edge of the clock made from?

A slim wood finish rim runs the full outline of the ellipse. It is a narrow band rather than a deep frame, and its job is to warm the white so the piece does not read as clinical.

What battery does the oval wall clock need?

One AA battery, which is not supplied. A fresh alkaline cell is recommended rather than a part-used one.

How does the clock hang on the wall?

A single sawtooth hanger on the back. At 2.6kg with a glass front, fix into a stud or use a rated wall plug rather than a picture pin, and check the fixing is level before hanging.

Where should an oval wall clock be hung?

On any wall with more width than height: above a sideboard or console, over a sofa, along a landing, above a headboard, or at the end of a run of kitchen units. Measure the run first, because 800mm is wider than most wall clocks.

What are the full specifications?

800 mm (W) x 300 mm (H) x 52 mm (D), 2.6 kg. MDF case with a snow white glass front and a slim wood finish edge. Gold hands with 12 and 6 marked. Quartz movement, 1 x AA battery not included. Sawtooth fixing.

Overview

A Wide Oval Clock for Low Wall Space

Most wall clocks use a round format, so their height matches their width. This design uses an ellipse instead, measuring 800mm across and only 300mm tall. The proportions suit long, shallow areas of wall above a sideboard, sofa or run of units, where a large circular clock could take up more vertical space. The face is snow white glass, framed by a slim wood finish rim and finished with gold hands. The only numerals on the dial are 12 and 6.

What the White Oval Wall Clock Offers

  • Elliptical shape: 800mm wide and 300mm tall, giving the clock a horizontal rather than vertical format.
  • White glass front: a flat, faintly reflective face with a bright white appearance.
  • Timber edge: a slim warm rim follows the full outline and adds contrast around the white face.
  • Gold hands and markers: the strongest colour on the piece, creating clear contrast against the white dial.
  • 12 and 6 alone: no full ring of numerals, leaving the rest of the face uncluttered.
  • Sawtooth fixing: 2.6kg on a single fixing point, requiring a stud or a suitably rated wall plug.

A Dial With Almost Nothing on It

Ten of the twelve hours are left without numerals, leaving only 12 and 6 as reference points. The time is read from the position of the hands, while the limited markings keep the dial visually simple from a distance. At closer range, the main details are the white glass, gold accents and grain of the rim, without a full set of printed numerals across the face.

The Rooms This Clock Suits

Suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, hallways and bedrooms where there is more horizontal than vertical wall space available. It can sit above a sideboard or console, over a sofa, along a landing or on the free wall at the end of a kitchen. The combination of white, gold and warm timber works with contemporary, modern and pared-back schemes while keeping the overall appearance restrained. For ideas on arranging a wall around a single wide feature, our media wall ideas guide explores how the different elements can work together.

Description

Why an Oval Fits a Wall a Circle Cannot

A round clock uses the same measurement for both height and width. Increasing its width also increases its height, which can make the space above a sideboard, headboard or row of kitchen units harder to use. An ellipse separates those dimensions. This clock measures 800mm across and 300mm high, giving it a broad horizontal format without the same vertical height.

The White Oval Wall Clock in Full

  • Elliptical case: 800mm wide and 300mm tall, made from MDF with a glass front.
  • Snow white face: a glass surface rather than printed board, keeping the front flat and clean.
  • Timber edge: a slim warm-toned rim running around the full outline of the ellipse.
  • Gold hands: slim, tapered and the strongest colour on the dial.
  • Minimal markings: only 12 and 6 are printed, leaving the remaining hours unmarked.
  • Quiet movement: powered by one AA battery, with no pendulum or anything hanging below the case.

Only Two Numbers on the Dial

Most of the hours are left unmarked, with only 12 and 6 printed on the face. The position of the hands provides the main indication of the time, while the two opposite numerals act as fixed reference points. Leaving the other ten hours unnumbered keeps the dial visually simple. From a distance, the face remains uncluttered, while closer viewing reveals the white surface and gold detail.

Glass and Timber, Doing Different Jobs

The glass front gives the face a flat surface with a faint sheen from the light in the room. Around it, the timber edge introduces a warmer tone. The rim is narrow rather than chunky, giving the outline definition against a pale wall without making timber the dominant material in the design.

Where This Clock Works Best

The wide, shallow proportions suit wall areas with more width than height. Possible positions include above a sideboard or console, over a sofa, along a landing, above a headboard or on the free section of wall at the end of a kitchen. The combination of white, gold and timber also works with contemporary and modern schemes while keeping the overall appearance restrained.

Before It Goes on the Wall

  • Battery not supplied: 1 x AA, using a fresh alkaline battery rather than a part-used cell.
  • Fix it properly: at 2.6kg with a glass front and single sawtooth hanger, use a wall plug or a stud.
  • Check it is level: the horizontal proportions can make an uneven position easier to notice.
  • Allow the width: at 800mm wide, measure the available wall space before fixing.

FAQs

FAQs: White Oval Wall Clock.

How big is the white oval wall clock?

800mm wide, 300mm tall and 52mm deep, weighing 2.6kg. That is wider than a typical round wall clock but considerably shorter, which is what allows it to sit on a low run of wall.

Why choose an oval clock over a round one?

A circle needs as much height as width, so making it large enough to read from across a room also makes it tall. An ellipse separates the two measurements. This clock gives the width that makes the time legible while staying only 300mm high, which keeps it usable above a sideboard, sofa or headboard.

Is the face glass or printed board?

Glass. The white face sits flat behind a glazed front, which keeps the surface clean, gives it a faint sheen under room light and makes it easy to wipe with a soft dry cloth.

Why are only 12 and 6 marked on the dial?

The eye reads a clock by the angle of the hands rather than by the numerals, and two opposite reference points are enough to fix that angle. Leaving the other ten hours unmarked keeps the face almost empty, so the gold hands are the only thing on it.

What colour are the hands and markings?

Gold. The hands are slim and tapered, and the markings are minimal, so gold is the only strong colour against the snow white face and the warm timber edge.

What is the edge of the clock made from?

A slim wood finish rim runs the full outline of the ellipse. It is a narrow band rather than a deep frame, and its job is to warm the white so the piece does not read as clinical.

What battery does the oval wall clock need?

One AA battery, which is not supplied. A fresh alkaline cell is recommended rather than a part-used one.

How does the clock hang on the wall?

A single sawtooth hanger on the back. At 2.6kg with a glass front, fix into a stud or use a rated wall plug rather than a picture pin, and check the fixing is level before hanging.

Where should an oval wall clock be hung?

On any wall with more width than height: above a sideboard or console, over a sofa, along a landing, above a headboard, or at the end of a run of kitchen units. Measure the run first, because 800mm is wider than most wall clocks.

What are the full specifications?

800 mm (W) x 300 mm (H) x 52 mm (D), 2.6 kg. MDF case with a snow white glass front and a slim wood finish edge. Gold hands with 12 and 6 marked. Quartz movement, 1 x AA battery not included. Sawtooth fixing.

Styling Ideas for Wide Walls and Low Runs

Treat a landscape clock as the horizontal anchor of a wall rather than one item in a gallery of many. Centre it on the furniture below, leave the space either side clear, and let the gold pick up whatever metal is already in the room. Related resources:
