Personalised Photo Wall Clocks

A clock is the one personalised gift that earns its wall space twice, which is why these are the most common anniversary and parents' gift we make.

Three to choose between: a 12 inch round clock carrying four photos, an eight-photo version for a larger family group, and an 11 inch star shape that suits a child's room. All use a quiet sweep movement rather than a ticking step movement, so they can go in a bedroom.

The movement behind the picture is a real quartz one, and on the designs that say so it is a silent sweep rather than a ticking step — worth having in a bedroom. It runs on a single AA cell you can replace without taking the clock apart. The hands are mounted through the centre of the printed sheet, so when you choose where a face sits in the collage, keep it away from the middle: the hands will cross it twelve times an hour.

The photos are UV printed onto the acrylic face, not stuck on, so they will not peel or yellow. They take a single AA cell, which is not included — the battery is a restricted item for air freight and we would rather ship the clock quickly.
