This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Clocks!

With all the inventions of smart phones, cell phones and even watches, it might seem like a clock for your home is an outdated relic. But the addition of modern or traditional styled clocks, arranged either solo or in a group, can add a stately, scientific-feel to a space, not to mention help you know what time it is! Whether you choose a wall clock, standing clock or tabletop clock, you'll always be on time with one of these good-looking clocks:

1) French Station Clock
This adorable clock is from 1940, and has a wonderful over-sized feel to it, plus a lot of old-fashioned graphic qualities to it. We love the strong, bold colors mixed with the antique-looking numbers. What a great thing to have as a focal point in a space.
Price: $5800
Dealer: Liza Sherman Antiques

2) George Nelson Meridian wall clock
That George Nelson made gorgeous modern wall clocks is no secret, but we are just floored with this specimen of his! Bright blue, glossy and almost Mediterranean-looking. We love all the stamped patterns on this ceramic clock, and think it would make a gorgeous addition to a wall as not just a clock, but as art, too.
Price: $950
Dealer: Modern Living Supplies

3) Train Station Clock
This is another train station clock from 1940s France, but this time it is definitely more modern and industrial-looking. We just love the size, the graphic-quality of the letters, all the little minute tick marks and that it lights up! What a great addition to a room.
Price: $6,900
Dealer: Bourgeois Boheme

4) Swedish Japanned Tallcase Clock
From the 18th Century, this antique standing clock is absolutely over-the-top with pattern, color and style. Though you might want to pair something this ostentatious with a more toned-down room, we just love what a surprise this would be for a corner of a room or a hallway.
Price: $12,800
Dealer: Alexander Westerhoff

5) Large 19th Century Gilt Wood Carved Clock
If you don't want to make the investment of adding a large wall clock or standing clock to your space, consider adding a small to medium-sized table top clock to a bureau, desk or sofa table. Traditional-looking and most of all functional, we love how this clock would add an adorable bit of detail to a space.
Price: $2,750
