Man's need to measure time has been known since ancient times. And with the hectic and complex routine that accompanies us in recent decades, keeping a close eye on the passing of the minutes, of the hours, is crucial. This is why watches are such essential accessories, as well as being particularly elegant and classy worn on the wrist. But wristwatches, whether digital or traditional, are not the only solution. Speaking of design, interior decoration and home accessories, in fact, we immediately think of the versatility of wall clocks, to which GioiaPura dedicates an entire e-commerce section.
Wall clocks: a bit of history
Let's go in order and start by discovering some curiosities about the history of this sophisticated, ingenious and sought-after design object. A decorative object that completes and embellishes every domestic environment, from the dining room to the kitchen, passing through the bedroom and, last but not least, the office.
We began to talk about wall clocks around 1600 when Christiaan Huygens, a famous Dutch scientist, conceived the first real example of a mechanical clock, a pendulum clock, with extraordinary functions, first and foremost the great precision in measuring time. And before then? There was no talk of real clocks, but the man of the past, always enterprising and stubborn, used other instruments to keep track of the passage of time, such as the sundial, the hourglass or even the hydrochronometer.
Returning to wall clocks, their entrance into homes or workplaces became official around 1700, both as a furnishing accessory and design object (think for example of the Cuckoo Clock, a beautiful model of wall clock made of wood by skilled craftsmen), and as an instrument with already indispensable functions. Over the years, this complement has naturally 'evolved' and differentiated, with the crucial transition from the analogue to the digital clock.
Types of wall clocks
Today, the variety of wall clocks on the market is almost infinite, ranging from vintage models to more modern ones. In this regard, GioiaPura offers a catalogue enriched with rather versatile models and variants: classic wall clocks, digital, hyper-modern and conceptual models, others minimal, still in shabby chic or vintage versions. All declined according to the domestic environment in which the complement is to be placed. In the case of kitchens, for example, our proposals by Arti&Mestieri and Valenti Argenti are excellent, as well as GioiaPura's own creations. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a wall clock for the living room, we recommend, among others, the pretty models made of wood and carved or decorated in the Gioiapura Selection for details.
Where to place a wall clock?
Regardless of the location, our models are almost all well suited to every type of room, what counts in fact is the overall context of the room. Take a look at the style of your home or office and, as a first step, consider whether to decorate with a new wall clock while respecting and going along with the rest of the furnishings (in terms of colours and style, for example), or whether, on the contrary, to break away completely by inserting a complement that stands out for its originality and sophistication.
