SCRIMP

Susa wall clock

£6 from IKEA, www.ikea.com

This simple, no-nonsense clock would not look out of place with any type of decor but probably best suits a modern look. It runs on batteries and has sleek, straight lines with a grey steel finish. One for the minimalist on a budget. It measures 28cm square.

SPEND

Jones & Co box clock

£29.99 from Argos, www.argos.co.uk

With a retro design, this clock is a little fancier but only has a "chrome effect" case and acrylic lens so it would be best hung out of reach for maximum effect. Comes with battery included. It measures 23cm square.

SPLURGE

Newgate quad wall clock

£85 from John Lewis, www.johnlewis.com

This silver metal plated clock is much larger than the others. It has large black Arabic numerals and hour and minute hands that are very attention seeking. The rivet surround detail is a nice touch that adds to the quality feel. It measures 40cm square.
