Wall clocks are common in many houses and offices around the world and are an important time keeping piece. A wall clock is an instrument used to indicate, keep, and co-ordinate time. The word clock is derived ultimately (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell". For horologists and other specialists the term clock continues to mean exclusively a device with a striking mechanism for announcing intervals of time acoustically, by ringing a (wendell) bell, a set of chimes, or a gong. A silent instrument lacking such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece. In general usage today a "wall clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time. Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks.
Many walls in homes and offices can look dull or featureless, sometimes the most obvious choice to brighten up a wall is to find a picture or mirror to try and add an interesting feature. A great alternative to bring alive a wall in any room is too add a wall clock. A wall clock is not only a functional time keeping piece but it can also be a decorative accessory and offer a stylish focal point to that room.
