A new, vintage-style clock from Newgate, the Westworld Mantel Clock.
It's a clock with 1950s-inspired styling, available in three colour options – black or red glass with mirrored markers or a mirrored glass with black time markers.
No matter which one you go for, this is affordable retro design, all clocks selling for a reasonable £22.95.
Regular readers will already be familiar with Clifford Richards’ retro robot designs. Now The Original Metal Box Company has produced three Retro Robot Clocks based on his designs.
The clock is made from laser-cut mild steel, which has been powder coated to give it a rich finish in either red, blue or green. The robot stands on a “spaceship launchpad” base, but can also be attached to the wall with the fittings included.
The clock costs £33 from The Original Metal Box Company.
A piece of old school technology, but one with a lot of character – this Krups Comfortchron Lux flip clock.
It's a German-made clock from the 1970s in a bold shade of yellow, offering the basics of time-telling via those flip digits and power via batteries or mains, so less wires if you don't want them.
It's described as being in 'used but very good' condition, as the 'battery box shows some signs of corrosion', but nothing to affect performance. Just one bid so far, taking the price to £1.99.

Remember the Vyconic turntable clocks we featured at the end of last year? Well, if you don't, check them out, as they look absolutely stunning. I suspect sales have gone well too, as the company is now recycling other items, producing designs like this Vyconic rotary phone desk clock.
Yes, this did indeed start off life as a humble dial phone, but has since been given a makeover and some clock hands, although the numbers obviously don't match the time.
It's also a one-off right now, so something unique as well as quirky. £55.31 secures it and while you're there, check out those record player clocks too!
Another great retro clock design from Newgate – the Vision Wall Clock.
This clock has been designed in a 1970s style and combines acrylic numbers with chrome spokes. It is available with the numbers and spokes in black and hands in red, or with reversed (as pictured). Apparently it has been seen in Hollyoaks (which may be a plus or a minus point depending on your opinion of the teen soap).
It costs £50 directly from Newgate.
We have featured a few starburst-style clocks in the past, but this one trumps them all – in terms of size at least.
The Giant Starburst Clock by Umbra is made from moulded wood, with a bronze finish. The hands are in contrasting white. And the clock’s all important size? 61cm in diameter!
Stylish Living is selling the clock for £117.43 which seems a reasonable price, considering how much clock you get for your money.
