You don't see grandfather clocks much these days. When you've got an iPhone or BlackBerry, who needs a clock or a watch? But they are beautiful, and I'm soothed by the quiet tick-tock of their hands. If you've got the room for one, a grandfather clock can be a charming aesthetic addition to your home. Otherwise, you might consider something like the Ikea Pendel, which doubles as storage. I adore this shabby chic one, photographed by James Merrell. Tell me, do you own one?
