In case this young girl is worried about running late, she can double-check her train times on the 19th-century clock above her head. Featured in the 1920s film Brief Encounter, the clock at Carnforth Railway Station in England is wound by hand each week. While I'm not keen on winding a clock weekly, I do love this clock's bold, basic look.

If you were forced to add a tiger clock to your casa, which one would you choose? The Ed Hardy Crouching Tiger Wall Clock ($29.99, on left), or this Suleyman Tiger Clock ($3,600)? And no picking "Other" or "None of the Above"!

I've shown you a horse topiary outside of Stella McCartney's Beverly Hills store, but I've never shown you a topiary clock.
Who would settle for a sundial when they could clip their shrubbery into numbers? This reminds me of something you might see in a children's park, though in reality it was found on the campus of a major university.

As someone who has never owned a watch, and whose cell phone is practically glued to her hand, I never thought I'd ache for a wall clock. But for Jason Linde Handmade Wenge Veneer Clocks ($110–$130), I do. His clocks have rotating laser-engraved dials and a stationary hand, flipping the face of the traditional clock on its end.

One of my best friends had a cuckoo clock growing up, and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever. But as an adult, I've never been into the whole German-kitsch look, so I was never particularly interested in bringing a cuckoo clock into my life.
But right now, it seems, everyone wants to put a cute, modern spin on the iconic design.

I love seeing how people display their collections and obsessions, as in this kitchen featured in a Metropolitan Home (via Girl Meets Glamour). Sure, you could scatter your mid-century modern clock collection throughout the house, but why not hang them all on one wall for great impact?

This Book Clock by Sjoerd van Heumen ($28) would like very cute nestled among the shelves of your home library, but with its bright primary colors, it's almost too cute for my taste. Tell me what you think.

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.

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.
