 The wall sticker that's also a clock... Wall stickers are not only great forms of wall decoration, but they can be functional forms of art too.
In a similar vein to the Big Ben wall sticker clock, here we have a rather kitsch red vinyl wall sticker decal that also doubles up as a functional, working clock.
The wall sticker can be easily applied to an appropriate area of your wall and comes with the clock face that can be positioned on top. The clock sticker is designed in a style reminiscent of traditional cuckoo clocks, but without the annoying bird.
To get your hands on a kitsch vinyl wall sticker clock, head over to the I Love Retro store on Bouf, where they’re priced at £27.95.

 Learn to tell the time again This revolutionary new Aspiral clock uses a clever spiral motion to tell the time. The red ball marks out the time throughout the day then, when it reaches the centre of the clock, it drops down into the hole, then appears out of the opening at the bottom, where it originally started off.
It’s an unusual design and a big interior talking point. If you’re looking for an unusual design piece with a functional purpose, and don’t mind having to re-learn to tell the time (it takes a bit of getting used to!), then the Aspiral clock could be the timepiece for you.
Pop over to Heal’s to find out more information and to get your Aspiral clock original.

Modern clocks have become so much more than simply timepieces, as these two glass clocks from Karlsson demonstrate.
The flower field glass clocks are decorated with an array of contemporary floral designs, making them an eye-catching piece of art.
It’s amazing how different the design becomes by adding colour, but we think we do ultimately prefer the monotone black and white version.
You can find the Karlsson black flower field clock and the multicoloured flower field clock for sale at Dot Maison.

Tell the time in style, with the help of these stunning designer bouquet clocks.
Designed by Nadia Sheltawy, the clocks are cleverly laser cut from acrylic perspex and have the shape of leaves, flowers and buds around the outside of the clock (all the things you’d find in a bouquet of flowers).
We love the black clock, which would look great hung on a neutral wall, but for a splash of colour, it’s also available in hot pink.
Both clocks are sold by Hunkydory Home for £44.99 each.

 The return of the test card
The famous test card image, that we used to see so often on TV, has been immortalised into this funky test card clock.
The clock is made from glass and runs on one AA battery.
If you’re feeling nostalgic for this iconic image, you can hang it on your wall for the ample price of £35.
You’ll find the test card clock at Urban Outfitters.

 Let Big Ben strike on your wall
We’ve featured lots of wall stickers before, but this one goes one step further.
Designed in the famous shape of Big Ben, this giant wall sticker provides more than just a decorative form of wall art – it’s a working clock, too.
The elaborate sticker comes with a working clock face with quartz movement, with black metal hands, and operates on one AA battery.
If you’ve not got room for a full-size grandfather clock, but have got a suitable area of wall free (you’ll need 295mm x 2000mm), then this could be the perfect solution.
You can buy your very own Big Ben at Funky Little Darlings, for £120.

There’s no end to the variety of quirky clocks available these days, including these unusual clocks made from books.
Available in a choice of classic black and white (which we’re rather partial too) or colourful primary colours, the clocks would be ideal for perching on a shelf, table or even on a bookcase.
Both of these clocks are available from Harley’s Interiors for £19.99 each.

There are a lot of these types of clocks around at the moment and they’re great for a contemporary home. This one is a bit different though, as it’s designed so you can fill the frames with whatever you want (pictures, children’s drawings, keepsakes, scraps of wallpaper, postcards etc) and you can move the frames around to whatever position you want them in.
In essence, it’s a fully customisable clock.
It’s a great idea, especially if you’re happy to be creative and crafty. It would make a good present too – you could fill all the frames with wedding photos as a gift for a newly wed couple, put pictures of friends and fun times in it for students starting a new chapter of their life, or pop children’s photos and drawings in the frames as a gift for grandparents.
And if in time you decide you want another look, you can simply change the contents of the 12 frames and start again.
You can buy the diy passe partout Karlsson wall clock from Soulful Toaster for £44.99. It has sold out at the moment, but they’ve got more stock coming soon and, if you’re interested, you can let them now in advance.

 Trendy butterfly clock
This unusual butterfly clock is designed by Susanne Philippson and is made from white lacquered metal.
Based on the idea that ‘time flies’, one corner of the clock has ragged edges where butterflie have flown out! The clock comes with three seperate butterflies and you can position as near or far from the clock as you wish.
If you love modern, creative design, then this eye-catching clock is the ideal piece to own.

 Unusual art cuckoo clock
After we featured the funky striped cuckoo clock previously, Dolf from North Coast Imports alerted us to their clocks.
It’s taken us a while to browse through them, as they have loads and there are some really unusual designs. If you like the idea of a traditional cuckoo clock, but want a more modern design, then there may well be something that takes your fancy amongst their ART Clocks range.
Designed and produced by artists based in Germany’s Black Forest, each of the ART clocks is a one-of-a-kind piece and is signed by the artist.
The cuckoo element isn’t too overpowering – the clocks have a small and inobtrusive door at the top where the cuckoo appears to announce the chiming of hours of half hours.
To find out more about the clocks available, have a look at the North Coast Imports website.
