Do You Own a Grandfather Clock?
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.

Nice and New: The Twice Twice Clock
The Twice Twice Clock ($150) would look right at home in a gender-neutral bedroom. Its walnut finish and rectangular shape are definitely masculine, but its neon pop of color, courtesy of the clock hands, imbues the clock with a fun, feminine modernity. Designed by Jonas Damon, who seems to have an obsession with clocks, as well as simple, elegant shapes, you couldn't go wrong with adding any of Damon's designs to your home.

Desire/Acquire: Ceiling Medallion Clock

Car-quality paint in white, pink, gold, or gray gives it a contemporary, industrial look. As much as I think it's a pretty little clock, I'd prefer not to spend over 100 smackers on the thing.
DIY: Literary Clock
If you're stumped for a unique holiday gift, you could bring some timeliness to a friend's life with this book clock ($19.95) from Etsy seller Recycleeh. Or, if you're feeling handy, you might consider personalizing your friend or family member's favorite book by turning it into a clock.
To make this cool clock, simply choose a hardcover book, without a busy cover, so that the clock numbers are legible.

Good, Better, Best: Modern Desk Clocks
Clocks have long been a fixture in homes worldwide, with not only a time-keeping function but also an aesthetic one. But as we've become drawn to our computers, cell phones, PDAs, and electronic kitchen appliances, we've found ourselves with little need for a free-standing clock, and these handsome things have fallen by the wayside. Personally, I like to put my gadgets to rest and out of my bedroom so I can have uninterrupted sleep, but I'll gladly grandfather in a good-looking desk clock.
