Wall Clock Purchase Considerations
Following are a few aspects of the wall clock that should be considered when you are about to make a wall clock purchase.
– Design
One very helpful feature of the wall clock is its decorative attributes. The wall clock not only tells you the correct time at a glance, it also beautifies the environment, adding some style and a certain level of class to the picture.
– Size
Although it’s quite possible to have smaller wall clocks, a diameter of 12 inches (30 cm) or more is preferable. This makes it easier to see the time from a distance, especially for older people, or those with sight problems. Being larger also increases the decorativeness of the wall clock.
– Noise Level
The engineering of wall clocks have come a long way, and many silent clock engines are now available. Generally, the more silent a clock is, the better the clock.
– Accuracy
A good clock should also be accurate. The more accurate, the better.
– Alerts
Some wall clocks offer the opportunity of playing chimes, alarms or ringing a bell at intervals. Such a feature is even better when it can be turned on or off.
