# Man cave decor & wall clocks

Decor is two wall clocks for now, and that is the honest size of it: a silent sweep clock with raised cubic numerals that reads from the far end of a double garage, and an oversized clock whose numerals you place yourself to fit the wall. Neither ships with fixings. Signs and neon come back when the list asks.

## Before you buy

### A ticking clock is loud in a concrete room

A hard-walled garage with no soft furnishings does nothing to absorb a tick, so a movement that is unremarkable in a lounge becomes the loudest thing in the room the moment the tools go down. Both clocks here run a silent sweep movement on a battery, which is the one spec that matters more in a garage than in a house.

### Mark the big one out before a numeral goes up

The personalised clock is a movement plus separate numerals that mount individually, so you set the diameter to suit the wall. That takes longer than a one-screw clock and the mistake you make is uneven spacing, which is very visible. Mark the circle out with masking tape and a string compass first, and treat it as a decorative piece rather than a precision one — if you need a clock to time something, this is not it.

### No fixings in the box

Neither clock ships with a screw. The cubic clock hangs off a single keyhole, so into masonry that is one plug and one screw — a two-minute job, but not a no-tools one. Hang either large enough and high enough to read from the far end of the garage, which is the only real test for a clock in a workspace.

Not sure where this fits in the room? How to kit out a man cave (/man-cave) sets out the order to do it in.
