MarbellaTime Round Marble Effect Wall Clock

The MarbellaTime is a single-piece round clock with a marble-effect face: a deep black ground broken by gold veining that runs across the dial in irregular lines. The pattern is printed rather than cut from stone, so the clock stays light enough to hang from one fixing, and no two areas of the face read quite the same. Against a plain painted wall it behaves like a piece of wall art that happens to tell the time.

Legibility comes from contrast rather than clutter. Full white numerals sit at every hour, large and unadorned, and the slim white hands are easy to separate from the veining behind them. That combination is what makes a decorative clock actually usable across a room, so you can read it at a glance from a sofa or a desk without walking up to it.

Inside is a super-silent quartz sweep movement rather than a stepping one, so there is no per-second tick to notice in a quiet room. It runs on a single AA battery, hangs from one keyhole fixing on the back, and comes in more than one diameter so you can match it to the wall you have. Wipe the face with a dry or barely damp cloth and avoid solvents, which can lift the printed finish.
