New obsession: Train-station clocks
Posted by Sunset, October 2, 2007 in I need it

By Monica Ewing, Sunset senior designer

Ever since I made those lazy-susan clocks, I've been on a clock kick. Then I discovered a trend: train-station clocks. And fell in love. I haven't figured out an easy way to make my own (yet), so I'll just share some great ones that I've found. I'm partial to the Smith & Hawken clock, but it's sold out. Most train-station clocks are large and are designed to be hung indoors or outdoors. They're double-sided, and some even have a clock on one side and a thermometer on the other. Very cool.

If you ever travel to DC you should eat at Brasserie Beck and lust after the cool clock decor they have there.

I've never found a clock I did not like. Train station clocks can be used in most any location. I'm not keen on the plastic models, but the old style metal clocks are more my style. Wonderful....thank you.

Thanks for the info, Janet. I'll be sure to check out Brasserie Beck when I'm in DC.

Is that an IKEA clock? I'm looking for one but the store no longer carries them. Any ideas where I can look because my search has turned fruitless.

Hi I'm looking for a Train Station Clock that has a wind chime hanging from the bottom. I saw it hanging on a porch one day. It was very beautiful. Never have seen any Train Station Clock with a chime hanging from it. Have you? Let me know where I mite possibly fine one. Thanks so much...
