Large, unique wall clocks can do more than connect you with the time of day or with the correct calendar setting. They can make a lifestyle statement, match your décor, or set a mood. Of course, it is quite handy if these large wall clocks are also easy to read, even for someone who is visually challenged. Regardless of your primary purpose for the clocks, you are sure to be able to find unique walls clocks, large size, that will be perfect for the room you are decorating.
The American Lifetime extra large digital clock
The American Lifetime extra large digital clock for the visually impaired is an excellent example of a serviceable and somewhat unique large wall clock. The brown wood colored clock is eight inches high, and clearly displays the time, day of the week and date. The day and month are spelled out in full, not abbreviated. The clock has the option for five different alarms, making it easy to set an alarm for things such as taking medicine. It comes with a battery backup so that in the event of a power failure, it will still display the correct time and date when the power comes back on.
A Circle of Fifths
This is the perfect clock for a music classroom, although you might want to back it up with a regular clock. There are several different circles because music has a movable selection of scales and keys, but a favorite is the major circle of fifths, with C at the 12:00 position, and BƄ/F# at the 6:00 position. The fifths for C Major mark out the morning hours, while those for the key of F hold down the afternoon hours. It is a clever way to help your music students arrive in class on time and to remember their circle of fifths. It gives new meaning to the old nursery rhyme that starts out, “A diller, a dollar…you could change it to “You BƄ scholar. You used to arrive at BƄ, but now you arrive at C.” For those of you who missed out on nursery rhymes, the original goes, “You used to arrive at 10:00, but now you arrive at Noon.”
Magical Motion Gear Clock
The intricate gears in clocks and watches have long added to their ability to fascinate. This clock does not require winding since it runs on two “D” batteries (included to maintain quartz precision) which last for 18 to 22 months. It is recommended that you change batteries yearly on the purchase anniversary for continuity. A light sensor keeps the clock from chiming in a dark room so it will not wake you up at night. The magical motion gear clock from Rhythm Clocks displays a set of gears that will have any Steampunk fan in seventh heaven. At the top of the hour, it plays a selection from one of three music lists (you can set it for A, B, or C – C being a Christmas holiday selection). As the music plays, the crystals flash, the small gears turn, and the entire board with the hours rotates.
