Mantel & Tabletop Clocks

If you’re looking for an instant way to classify your home while adding some features, go for fireplace and table clocks.  They instantly add the classic look of analog time.  Even at times when we can get the time on our phones, it can be handy to take a look and see the time.  Read on for tips on choosing the style that is best for you.

3. What are some features of fireplace and table clocks?

In addition to the appearance of the clock, consider some additional helpful features that are common with more modern mantelpiece and table clocks.

  • Morning and evening lighting: These clocks have a lighting function that adapts to the time of day.  You can wake up to a soft glow or fall asleep in a dim light.  These are advertised to match your daily rhythm.  Different colors on the watch can also correspond to the ambient humidity or aid meditation.  These are especially good for city life when you are cut off from natural light sources.

  • Melody alarm: As with a normal alarm clock, you can program some mantelpiece and table clocks to play music at a specific time.  Select this option if you want to use it as a part alarm.

  • power adapter: Select this option if you want to keep the number of batteries used.  It’s also good if you plan to depend on the clock and don’t want it to die overnight.

  • Calendar mode: Some watches can display calendar functions such as the day of the week.  If you don’t want to use the clock just for decoration, consider this feature.

  • Photo ads: Other clocks open in a brochure style to show the clock on one page and a photo on another.  This is a great option for smaller tables where it makes sense to combine functionality in parts.
