Wall Clocks Canada – Modern, Designer & Word Clocks
The right wall clock does more than tell time — it anchors a wall as a design element. From clean modern faces to sculptural statement pieces and typographic word clocks, a well-chosen clock brings both function and personality to a living room, kitchen, office, or entryway. Our collection spans contemporary and designer wall clocks, including the distinctive typographic word clocks from QLOCKTWO.
For the iconic word-clock range that spells out the time in letters, see our QLOCKTWO collection.

Modern, Designer & Word Wall Clocks
Modern & Designer Wall Clocks
Modern wall clocks range from minimal, clean-faced designs to sculptural statement pieces that read as wall art. A larger designer clock can anchor a feature wall or fill the space above a console or mantel, while a smaller clean design suits a kitchen or office where legibility matters most.
Word Clocks
Word clocks — led by QLOCKTWO — replace hands and digits with an illuminated matrix of letters that spells out the time. They’re part timepiece, part typographic art, and a genuine conversation piece, available in a range of finishes and languages.
Wall Clock FAQs
What size wall clock should I choose?
Scale the clock to its wall and surroundings. As a rough guide, a large open wall suits a clock 24 to 32 inches or more across for real presence, a medium wall or above-furniture spot suits roughly 16 to 24 inches, and a kitchen or office clock is often 10 to 16 inches for at-a-glance legibility. When hung above a console or mantel, choose a clock that’s narrower than the furniture below it.
Where should I hang a wall clock?
Hang a clock where it’s easily seen — often at or slightly above eye level, with the center around 57 to 60 inches from the floor on an open wall. Above a console, sofa, or mantel, leave several inches of clearance above the furniture and center the clock on the piece or the wall section for balance.
What types of wall clocks are there?
The main types are traditional analog clocks (hands and a dial), digital clocks, and word clocks that display the time in illuminated words. Analog clocks offer the widest range of styles; word clocks like QLOCKTWO are a distinctive design-led option that doubles as wall art.
Are the clocks silent, and what powers them?
Many modern wall clocks use a quiet quartz “sweep” movement rather than a ticking step movement — useful for bedrooms and offices — though this varies by model. Most analog clocks run on standard batteries, while some designer and word clocks (such as QLOCKTWO) use mains power or a rechargeable battery. Check the individual product for its movement and power details.
Do designer wall clocks come in different finishes?
Yes — wall clocks are available in a wide range of finishes and materials, from wood and metal to coloured and minimalist faces, so you can match the clock to your décor. Word clocks in particular offer a selection of frame finishes and front-panel colours. Check individual product pages for the options on a specific clock.
