Clocks are a mainstay of any interior design aesthetic but, for those who like to make their mark with their home furnishing choices, there are some brands that stand head and shoulders above the rest. So far as table clocks are concerned, the guys at Pendulux are going to be tough to beat as they have some of the quirkiest, coolest table clocks you’re ever likely to encounter. Check out our pick of 8 of their best table clocks below:
PILOT HOUSE TABLE CLOCK | $199
A staple on every ship’s bridge, a vintage compass binnacle is repurposed as a clock, phone holder, pen and pencil caddy, and pencil sharpener in this awesome Pilot House Clock from Pendulux. Solid sheet brass construction gives weight to this multi-functional desk accessory, a tool providing timely communication, whether by handwritten word or electronic means.
ORBIT CLOCK | $239
Taking design inspiration from the cool late 1950’s “space-age” automobile dashboard instruments, Pendulux’s version grants an extra sense of drama to proceedings due to the distortion created by the heavy, thick lens. Vintage 1950s atomic age clock dial and period hands compliment the polished aluminium case. Big fans of this one at Coolector HQ.
COCKPIT TABLE CLOCK | $209
Take to the skies with the Pendulux Cockpit Table Clock. Cast directly from an original WWII USAF steering yoke, this striking table clock boasts a vintage aircraft instrument dial and hands to accurately show time at a quick glance as you barrel along at white-knuckle speeds. Polished solid aluminium and brass accents take you back to the golden days of aviation. Available in painted black or polished aluminium versions.
BIPLANE TABLE/WALL CLOCK | $159
As if right out of the annals of the famous American Flyers of the Lafayette Escadrille of the First World War, Pendulux’s Biplane clock perfectly captures the essence of America’s first practical military aircraft. Constructed of solid cast and polished aluminium and embellished with brass landing gear, exhaust pipes, struts and windscreen, this ace looking Biplane clock is ready for action whether at taxi on your desk or in flight on your wall.
OOFO TABLE CLOCK | $189
From the far reaches of the universe and bearing strange alien technologies (possibly not literally) comes the Oofo Table Clock from Pendulux. Directly inspired by the pages of 1950s sci-fi comics, this relic of retrofuturistic fins and antenna possesses an acrylic window for alien observation and an adjustable stand that allows for alternate angles of aerial attack.
STEAMBOAT TABLE CLOCK | $309
Pendulux’s love of the early steam power revolution and all things maritime are combined expertly in this stunning mantel clock. Made with a nod to model ships encased in glass and mounted on solid frames, this one incorporates a clock with a housing borrowed from a 1910 steamship’s bridge. The operable brass steam piston on the stern portrays the movement of the original parts found on those ships and sparks interaction as well as the imagination.
DIVER HELMET DESK CLOCK | $209
Replicated in solid brass with a vintage patina, Penudulux’s Diver Helmet Desk Clock features a clever hand wheel mechanism that allows for adjustment of the viewing angle to counter low and high tides. Detailed vents and ports convey the industrial nature of this early 20th Century piece of diving equipment.
TRANSMITTER TABLE CLOCK | $199
Inspired by the plethora of eclectic and electric communications devices of the early 20th Century, this Transmitter Table Clock from Pendulux is a wonderful combination of vintage knobs, dials, switches and antennas.
