(29 posts)I think it will be a nice looking clock if the size is maybe half smaller than the above picture.

(1,622 posts)...but I certainly wouldn't describe it as "ludicrous", even though I'd like it better if the "time" lettering wasn't there...

On the plus side, it probably cost a fortune.

(3,131 posts)Who uses roman numerals any more? Or did you mean the time in the middle. No kidding a clock tells time.

(43,049 posts)It's a campy artwork, with the "TIME" logo pointing out how silly it is.
No one notices the extremely uncomfortable seating (good only for passing out on) or the ridiculous reflection of the room and video of a fire in the fireplace?

(6,261 posts)Check out any roman numeral clock you might have lying around: I bet you 4 is actually IIII. I bet you never noticed before

(58,356 posts)of all sorts. Though if I had it my house, I'd take out the "TIME" - that's kinda stupid.
What do you find ludicrous about it?

(22,912 posts)In fact, I never did find anything I liked when I googled "wall clocks"-- everything was so outlandish.
I don't mind unusual, mind you, but it would be nice to have variety-- not just this type of "clock."
Also women's shoes have become outlandish, as have comforters and reading lamps. It's weird. IMO.

(58,356 posts)There is a lot of oddness in current designs. I will agree on that. Not the type of ugly artlessness of the 80s and early 90s, but we've left the sensible and elegant design era of the late 90s and 00s, and returned to a lot of design options that are going to date themselves very quickly and age very badly.

(6,155 posts)The standard time for Seiko ads is 10:08:42 - with no second hand looks like this one just opts for 10:08.

I dislike things with superfluous labeling.

(31,428 posts)unique wall clocks that could also be considered art for your walls. Or Wayfair for zillions of wall clock options.
I have a wall clock I got on artful home about 10 years ago. Still love it. Had to replace the mechanism in it recently, but it only cost $35. Hope it lasts another 10 years. Only change 1 AA battery about once/year.
