12 Best Wall Clocks to Buy in 2025

During our review the Lemnos Classic Plywood Wall Clock earned praise for its sturdy solid-plywood construction and minimalist aesthetic that adds natural warmth to a room—our testing confirmed the durable feel justifies the $110 price. We found the silent Seiko sweep movement impressively quiet for bedrooms or offices, and its indoor/outdoor rating gives flexible placement, but our experience shows limited color options and the lack of extras like a date or illumination may disappoint those seeking more features. At 8/10 it’s a refined choice for clean, modern interiors.

In our testing the Wall Clock by Design Within Reach stands out as a sculptural statement that doubles as wall art, and we liked that the removable clock face makes battery changes easy. During our review the modern silhouette elevated rooms, but our experience shows the lack of hour marks can make it harder to read at a glance—something to consider if quick time checks matter. At $115 it’s a stylish pick but not the most practical, which explains its 6.5/10 score.

We found the Grantwood Wall Clock delivers classic looks and dependable quartz movement that produces a soft ticking without chimes—nice for living rooms wanting a traditional touch. During our review the clock functioned well, but our experience shows the value is hurt by the $92.99 price and misleading origin info: it’s made in China despite U.S. claims. It’s lightweight and suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor spots, but that provenance issue kept it from scoring higher than 6.5/10.

Our experience shows the FirsTime & Co. Farmhouse Shiplap Wall Clock nails the trendy farmhouse look with a modern shiplap face that adds instant charm—ideal for kitchens or living rooms at $63.09. We found it very readable from across the room thanks to bold numerals, but during our testing the darker hands can blend into the white background at certain angles and it lacks a backlight for nighttime visibility. If you want style and daytime legibility, this scored a solid 7.5/10 in our guide.

If you love heirloom timepieces, the David Wall Clock is a classic that leans into traditional charm. In our testing we appreciated the high-precision German-made key-wound Westminster chime movement that plays at regular intervals—its craftsmanship helps explain the 8/10 score and $1,249 price. We found the mechanical key-wind rewarding but potentially inconvenient since it requires regular manual winding, and the chime mechanism may not be silent in quiet rooms. During our review this indoor-only, heavier clock is a striking statement if you accept the upkeep and sound trade-offs.

For lovers of mid-century style, the Sunburst Clock is an investment piece that earned its high 9.5/10 rating in our testing for exemplary design and build quality. We found the combination of solid wood and metal elevated the clock into decorative art territory—during our review the quartz movement kept precise time while the substantial materials promised long-term durability. The $655 price and occasional longer shipping for international orders are real trade-offs, and note it’s for indoor use only, but this is a standout centerpiece.

During our review, the Bjerg Instruments Modern Wall Clock impressed with its silent, sweeping second hand that keeps rooms peaceful—our testing confirmed a true non-ticking operation ideal for bedrooms or offices. The simple, elegant modern design blends easily into home, office, or patio decor and the clock is rated for indoor/outdoor use, giving practical flexibility. At $39.99 it’s an affordable pick and earned a solid 7.5/10, though we found the lack of the required 1 AA battery in the box to be a minor annoyance.

In our testing the Seiko St James Wall Clock stood out for its sleek modern look and reliably accurate quartz timekeeping, making it a solid mid-range choice at $53.10. We found the silent operation excellent for bedrooms and quiet spaces, and the design complements contemporary decor, but our experience shows the silver dial can be hard to read in low light and some units arrived with minor debris under the plastic face. If you prioritize quiet precision and style, this Seiko is a reasonable 7/10 pick despite material concerns.

We found the HITO 10” Silent Wall Clock offers excellent value at $26.99, especially if you want a quiet, easy-to-read option for bedrooms or kitchens—its large numbers and silent quartz movement worked well in our testing. The modern silver aluminum frame looks sharp against contemporary decor, but during our review we saw units that tended to gain a minute every few weeks and the included thermometer and hygrometer weren’t as precise as dedicated meters. Also beware the aluminum frame dents fairly easily, which affects durability.

During our review the La Crosse Technology UltrAtomic Wall Clock impressed with robust WWVB reception thanks to its dual antenna and an eco-mode that can extend battery life up to five years—features that make it attractive for hands-off, accurate timekeeping. We found the polished stainless-steel frame and shatterproof lens look premium, but our testing revealed an audible ticking that might bother quiet rooms and initial synchronization sometimes required placing the clock near a window or waiting until nighttime. Also note it needs 2 or 4 C batteries, which aren’t included.

During our review the Presentime & Co. Luminous Wall Clock impressed with a smart sensor that auto-adjusts illumination, making it convenient for dim hallways or porches, and its silent movement worked well in bedrooms. We found the glow feature useful, but our experience shows accuracy problems when hour and minute hands were misaligned on some units, which undermines timekeeping. The requirement for multiple batteries (1 AA for the movement plus 4 C for LEDs) is inconvenient, and at $59.79 the clock scored a modest 6/10 overall.
