The Art of Choosing Clocks

Which Style Clock Is Best?

Opt for a clock that resonates with your interior style—be it contemporary, minimalist, or rustic. The ideal clock colour aligns with personal preference and room decor. Neutral tones convey trust, bold colours make a statement, and metallic finishes add glamour and sophistication.

Which Size Wall Clock Is Best?

Size depends on space and preference. Whether it's a bold statement piece or a subtle addition, consider visibility and balance, ensuring the clock complements the room without overwhelming it.

How to Choose a Wall Clock for My Living Room?

Consider the living room's decor style. For a modern aesthetic, opt for sleek designs. Traditional spaces benefit from vintage or antique-style clocks. Harmonize with the colour scheme and ensure the size complements the space without dominating it.

The Chinese Taboo

A Gift? Let's Stop Right There

In Chinese tradition, when electing what gift to give for your Chinese friend's birthday, don't give them a clock as gift! Though clocks are not offensive in Chinese culture, giving a clock as a gift sure is!

This taboo arises from the fact that the phrases "giving you a clock" (sòngzhōng 送钟) and "attending your funeral" (sòngzhōng送终) are homophones in Chinese. Therefore, the action of giving a clock carries a negative connotation and is a widely held cultural taboo.

Today, especially among the elderly, it is regarded as a sign of bad luck or a curse. On top of that, clocks also symbolize the running out of time. This is especially an uncomfortable reminder for seniors. Giving a clock as a gift is one of the biggest no-no in Chinese culture.
