Decorating my house. Any watch design ideas
Hi there,
I am about to move into my new house in the outskirts of Paris. Lots of work to be done, and I am thinking about how to decorate it I wear a Gerald Genta Arena Bi Retro and mix it with a Perrelet big date. Next one will be either the new Corum "seonde foudroyante" or the UN blue seal.
You wonder why am I telling you this?
Well, I would like to have some horlogical element in the living room that could hang on the wall, be placed on the floor or above the chimney and which would add a cool feature to the house.
What would you be thinking of if someone asked you?
Thanks all for your ideas

How about...
Hello dlis! How about a JLC ATMOS clock? They have all kinds of styles and are very cool. Have you visited a Bulgari boutique or AD? They sometimes will sell their dealer wall clocks so maybe you can match your Gerald Genta! -MW
Thanks all
Hi, thanks for all your ideas, I had a quick look on the atmos and its really nice and in the style I'm looking at. I will take a closer look on sattler one too and let you know what I think. Could I assume that since these clocks are not entirely micro e...
GG similarty
Hi, It would indeed be cool to have an oversize GG . I saw this one wich does share some similarities with the hour disc of the GG Its no technical wonder but looks nice. What do you think?...
i really like that clock,...
i really like that clock, very remaniscent of a 1930's wristwatch only better because of the mirror frontage. a cool look. and as for price of the clocks we've mentioned. we dont really talk price here, but the Atmos varies from an entry level Rolex and k...
One of Sattler's Clocks?
or another modern clock of interesting design? What I've done is collected some prints of clock mechanisms from old books, which I have framed on the walls. A
Absolutely do not get an Atmos clock!
If you are going to to put it on the mantle above your chimney. Please no!!! However, if you have a nice table or cabinet away from the chimney, then an Atmos clock would be perfect. Really, a quality clock makes good sense and there are many to consider....
why no to the chimney Richard?
if its to do with the heat, mines been above a fireplace and multifuel stove for 5 years without missing a beat and if your thinking about losing the look, i put a big mirror behind it. its not the best place for it, but for now its the best i can do. Gra...
Its what my AD told me when I bought it
He was giving an anecdotal story about the few times he's had to send one back for repairs. No scientific explanation but maybe it was the proximity to the actual fire? Also I remember reading or being told somewhere that Atmos Clocks should be kept away ...
i can see that would...
i can see that would be a problem if you put it close to the fire, but i'm lucky in that the room is cool most of the time being solid stone and single storey, between 18-22c, the top of the stove is about a metre from the underside of the mantle and the ...
Let me give you a Neighbour's advice... :)
The Atmos family has such a diversity that you will easily find what you need: Modern or Classic, Complicated or Simple, New Design... There is also another option: JLC made some very cool table clocks, and here again, sme very different ones, in the Past...
One word: Silberstein!
Alain Silberstein may just be the man to fulfil your need. He has horological cred, he is French, and he makes clocks that are just that bit out of the ordinary. Alex

Stay away from fancy clocks - more addictive than watches!
I must have 40-50 and a few chime & strike so I can have audible as well as visual reminders of time-keeping. The Atmos is nice because you rarely have to reset or adjust it. You could also (if family permits) add clock/sign combo somewhere. (Citroen ...

I have a nice bookshelf for watch books, watch DVDs, brand brochures, magazines, catalogues, etc. I've got some signed sketches of watch parts that warrant being framed. I'm past the age of taping posters of sports cars (and other posters) to my walls. If...
