The Ultimate Guide to Buying a Clock Online

Clocks of all sizes, shapes and styles

Here at the Clock Shop we offer a huge range of clocks in a variety of decorative styles and colours to enhance the ambience of any room of the house- whether it be your lounge room, kitchen, bedroom or home office. Choosing the right clock can make all the difference when completing the look and feel of a particular space. From mechanical and traditional chiming clocks, vintage clocks, grandfather clocks and authentic wooden cuckoo clocks; through to the more modern artistic designs including metal and glass modern wall clocks, digital and analogue alarm clocks, and silent sweep clocks, here at the Clock Shop we offer the largest selection of quality clocks in Australia, and have proudly done so since 1993. 

Helpful Tips to Remember When Choosing Your Clock

Some clocks represent works of art that add a touch of intrigue and flair to your home. Others are simply functional, sleek and understated. Or perhaps you’re looking for a device with precise timekeeping or mechanical charm, or maybe even a clock that will announce the time musically on the hour or half hour. No matter what you are searching for from the Clock Shop, you can be assured of excellent quality with our satisfaction guarantee.

Many of our clocks on offer are mechanical clocks that require winding. Some of these need to be wound daily, whilst others need to be wound either once a week or once a month. Winding your clock is a reminder of enduring engineering and craftsmanship and of course, no batteries are required with your mechanical wall clock!

Size does matter! Consider your space carefully and determine what sort of statement you are hoping to make. Whilst bigger items offer an eye-catching statement piece to enhance a room, sometimes it is the smaller, more delicate wall clocks that can add understated elegance and enhance your room’s overall look. If you don’t have a lot of wall space available you may want to consider trying a table clock or mantel clock to add both charm and individual character to your space. Small clocks in bright and exciting colours present a fun addition to any child's bedroom, providing a splash of colour to the room to enhance the room’s overall energy; whilst on the other hand, simple, functional and sleek designs can be incorporated into a modern space both for practicality and a modern touch.

Light sleepers will appreciate the ‘silent sweep’ movements featured in some of our analogue quartz wall and alarm clocks, where the second hand silently sweeps around the clock dial in a continuous motion, rather than making a ticking sound. In addition, our quartz battery cuckoo clocks also contain a handy light sensor that mutes all sounds once the room darkens. 

Some factors to consider before making your selection include the size and colour you have in mind; how often your clock needs to be wound; when you want to be notified of the time; and if you need a quiet clock at night for restful slumber.

Authentic Cuckoo Clocks from Germany

Representing a fine piece of art that also functions as a timekeeper, consider purchasing an authentic German hand carved cuckoo clock online from the Clock Shop as an investment that you can pass down to future generations.

Choosing your preferred style between carved clocks and chalet cuckoo clocks is the first step in choosing your German Cuckoo Clock. You should also consider if you want a clock that is battery operated or mechanical. Finally, make sure to choose a style that you love, because in doing so, choosing a timepiece that you are truly attracted to will create character in your home and ultimately stand the test of time, lasting for many years to come.

To prevent damage in case repairs are needed or if you’re moving house it is always worth taking photos as you unpack the clock to ensure you can replicate the packing. We also recommend keeping the original box if possible.
