Above: I spotted (and admired) this clock last weekend at Aggregate Supply Co. while window shopping in San Francisco’s Mission district. The Lemnos Nasu Wall Clock was designed by Yuichi Nara and is handmade in Japan; it’s available in peach or sand for $128 at Anthropologie.

Above: Alessi commissioned six wall clocks from six European designers for this year’s Spring/Summer collection. The Ora Out Clock, designed by Giulio Iacchetti, is designed to nestle into a wall corner so it can be read from wider angles. Its counterpart, the Ora In Clock, is white; $120 at Alessi.
