2. Ugly Face Clock
Completely hand carved and painted, made out of wood by a talented seller on the Etsy Marketplace, there’s a range of these unique clocks available but the ugly face was my personal favourite.
I think it was modelled on the face I make when my Gran pulls my cheeks and tells me i’m a good boy.

3. Tire Wheel Clock
This realistic Tire/Wheel clock is an accurate and very detailed unique wall clock that looks just like a car wheel and even has the disc brake caliper and air valve on the tire. The tire has the tread and is made from the same rubber material as a car tire.
Not only does it look like a real car tire and tell the time, it also lights up for when you want to sit in darkness and be able to see the time. Cool.
Perfect accessory for the man cave, garage or in a workshop, people will be jealous of your car tire wall clock guaranteed.

4. Steampunk Wall Clock
Steampunk is pretty cool, the cogs, the intricacy and the imagination that goes into it all. So there’s no surprise that some clever so and so has created the perfect steampunk wall clock.

The Steampunk wall clock is an analog clock and is handmade using real crushed stone that is bonded with resin, it features metal moving hands, a faux globe and faux gears. Would have like to have seen this moving but we can’t have everything 🙁
Another conversational piece for the home.

I kind of get a steampunk vibe from this clock? It’s pretty cool and would look good in any home or office workspace. The attention to detail is incredible.
7. Your Face Personalised Clock
Yup it’s your very own clock face. Or is that your very own face on a clock. Gives whole new meaning to the term clock face. These personalised photo clocks are hilarious. We love etsy they make so much possible.
The process is simple you send a picture of your face or somebody else’s choose your clock and that’s it wait for it to arrive. Hang it on your wall and laugh every time you look at it for the time.
Don’t be a poser though and send in a nice picture of yourself looking your best, you need to make sure it’s your best stupid face or a really embarrassing picture. You could create one for a coworker and hang it in your office for the rest of the workforce to point at and laugh.
8. Pizza Clock
Everyone loves pizza. So here it is it’s a pepperoni pizza clock. Just a basic clock with a realistic pepperoni pizza stuck to it, simple yet effective. We’re so glad they didn’t add pineapple to this pizza. We would have had to hunt them down.
A great addition to any kitchen wall.
Disclaimer: please do not try to eat this pizza clock it’s very time consuming. Boom he’s done it again.
9. Peacock Clock
Peacock Clock it’s got a ring to it! Not only does it sound good this is pretty incredible. Would you look at the intricacy of this clock. It’s truly majestic. Can’t help but only see this in a huge English Manor house or in a castle somewhere.
The peacock clock is approximately 70cm by 70cm so its a biggie to say the least.
Hand crafted and painted, made out of cast iron and set with diamond/crystal studs, unfortunately not real diamonds.
The clock movement is not your usual movement it’s a high quality precise geared movement so the clock will always keep good time.
10. Splat Paint Clock
Make a statement with the “splat” clock, made to look like someones just thrown paint at the wall. They will make something out of anything these days!

A great conversation starter!
Obviously this is another clock that has been created by some super talented Etsy shop owner.
12. Dali Melting Clock
I remember when these Dali inspired abstract clocks were first launched and their still as popular years later. The clocks sit nicely on a shelf or desk and have the illusion of a clock that is melting away.
It actually does tell the time as well although it may take some getting used to!
The clock was inspired by Salvador Dali’s (the artist) the persistence of memory You can actually see this clock featured in the famous art piece.
Most of the versions of this clock that are available to buy are made of plastic but they still make for a very interesting addition to any home.
13. Maths Formula Clock
Show all of your visitors just how much of a nerd you really are with this maths formula clock.
Sure to have everyone you know scratching their heads in dismay when they just can’t work out these formulas. Made from wood, the maths formula clock is available in many colors and styles I just liked this one best.
So before you buy it you’re going to want to know the answers so you can show off to your uneducated friends and bask in the glory of nerdness.
I’m not going to give you the answers though because I don’t know them, I’m a geek but I’m not a nerd. I do know one thing though is that 12 x 12″ is the approximate measurement of this clock.
14. Huge Clock
A statement piece to say the least this huge, tear drop shaped wall clock is modern and contemporary and even has a cool pendulum. If you’re feeling really posh you can even have some “cliche” quote transferred on the wall beneath it. I’m feeling “would you look at the size of my….clock”
This large teardrop shaped clock is crafted from wood and hand painted.
15. Kitchen Cutlery Clock
It’s a kitchen clock. Made from knifes, forks and spoons. All of your kitchen cutlery in one place. One for each hour.

The kitchen cutlery clock is a quirky and unusual novelty clock made completely from stainless steel to have featured in your kitchen. Measures 32 x 32 x 4 cm and takes just one AA battery.
16. Kevin Broccoli Clock
Any one a fan of “The Office US” (IMDB) remember Kevin’s face when he was force fed broccoli tasting it for the first time? OK if you haven’t seen it, here’s the clip:
Kelly “you’re killing him Michael” cracks me up.
So naturally someone decided to use the creative gene they was blessed with to design and produce the Kevin Broccoli clock. Laugh your ass of as the hands of the clock, force feed broccoli to Kevin.
Don’t ask me how big the clock is because the etsy seller hasn’t listed that information for me to steal.
17. Huge Frameless Art Clocks
You’re going to need to be good with DIY and a have a keen eye to pull this clock off right on your lounge wall. As it comes in separate pieces! Honestly, I would employ a professional, I just know I would totally mess this clock up.
The center piece is the clock mechanism and functions as a normal clock mechanism wood, the hours that are set around the clock are separate and will need to be lined up with accuracy if you want this to look good and not a complete disaster.
Anyway it’s a very unusual wall clock and I like it, in the picture that is.
18. Biohazard Symbol Clock
These Biohazard clocks are ultra modern! Only found on Etsy, the clocks are unique to each person who buys them. Hang it on your door so you don’t get unwanted visitors?
The artist “Scott” has been designing unusual and unique clocks for the past ten years and has had a great success with his Etsy store. Worth every penny in my opinion for a unique time piece that is handmade in quality.
You can choose from a rusted design or have the biohazard clock painted in the color you desire.
19. Glow in the dark Moon
Yup you read it right, this moon clock illuminates in the dark to give the impression that you have really stolen the moon and turned it into a clock. A bit like Gru did in Despicable me! (I love that movie)
Perfect for nurseries, kids bedrooms and anywhere else you feel like hanging it on the wall. There’s also a version of this clock with the numbers painted so if you can’t tell the time without them you’re saved.
The glow in the dark moon clock is approx 9.5″ in diameter and is installed with a silent mechanism. So it won’t drive you crazy when you are suffering from insomnia.
Do remember that it’s glow in the dark and not LED lit. Which basically means it will lose its glow after a while through the night.
20. Frying Pan Egg Clock
There are a lot of unusual clocks that have been designed with the kitchen in mind. Is that a thing? Do people have more clocks in their kitchens? Anyhow! This weird clock is designed to look like a frying pan complete with friend egg, sunny side up. Yum my favourite.
The Sodial frying pan egg clock is a novelty clock available on Amazon for a bargain price and will add a little character to your otherwise boring kitchen. Or you could hang it in your bedroom if that’s your thing.

The cog mechanism in this quality clock can be switched off if it starts getting on your nerves.
22. LED Light Up Word Clock
A very unusual LED light up word clock, as you’ll see from the picture this clock is insane. It tells the time in a unique way unlike your usual wall clocks that use hands.
Kind of reminds me of a word search puzzle? Anyway. The LED word clock tells time in five minute intervals and will display the time like “It is fifteen minutes past four” by lighting the words up with the LED.
The light up word clock is a great addition for offices or homes and is not only sleek and modern but contemporary too especially with the cool copper finish.
Perhaps a little small to put on the wall but it would look good on some furniture or a shelf somewhere! Measuring approximately 7.75 inches squared.
23. Stainless Steel Ribbon Clock
This ribbon styled clock is made completely from a highly polished quality stainless steel. Created by a company called Umbra it’s fair to say they are absolutely smashing it in the clock world selling thousands of their products, and this futuristic looking ribbon clock is one of the best seller.
The contemporary ribbon wall clock was designed by a lady called Michelle Ivankovic and was made by gently bending each ribbon to form a unique and unusual multi-ribbon shaped clock that will look awesome in any room.
Each stainless steel ribbon clock is approximately 12” in diameter x 2 and 1/4″ in depth and includes everything you need to mount it on your wall. Did I mention it features a silent mechanism? Oh Captain hook would be impressed!
24. Charlie Chaplin
If you’re unsure as to who Charlie Chaplin is, well he was a very successful actor, comedian, filmmaker and composer of the silent movie era. You can see him performing in the following video clip, watch those legs move!
So now you know who Charlie Chaplin was, you’ll understand this Charlie Chaplin clock a little more. Instead of your usual clock hands, they have been made to use Charlie’s legs to tell the time, which IMO is ingenius.
The Charlie Chaplin clock is not only unusual, but it’s entertaining and funny to say the least! The clock is 11 inches squared and is available from just one seller on Etsy, the same seller who brought you the Kevin Broccoli clock we looked at earlier. It seems he/she follow a theme with the moving clock hands being made into novelty items.
25. Aeroplane Unique Clock
The aeroplane clock can be wall mounted or sat on a side, once you get it up on the wall it quite literally looks like the nose end of a plane flying out of your wall. Which is just pretty darn cool.
