Focus on Your Walls
A wall clock is a natural focal point. Therefore, it is beneficial to be mindful of this focus when decorating your home. You can find wall clocks in all sorts of materials and styles. Just remember that it's something you will look at daily. So, choose one or more wall clocks for your home in a style that suits your decor and preferred aesthetic.
If you're looking for a high-quality wall clock, you've come to the right place. Here at puretime.dk, you'll find a selection of solid wood wall clocks in a classic, timeless design. A lovely addition to your decor, adorning your walls with a practical design element so you can easily tell the time.
You can certainly find wall clocks in other materials – for example, plastic – and at a different price point, but if you want something truly unique, where no two wall clocks are alike, and where you know it's made in Europe with solid quality, then a wall clock from PureTime is an excellent choice.

Wall Clocks in Danish Design
There aren't many Danish-designed wall clocks on the market. You might find some from one of the larger (and more expensive) design houses, and some in thin veneer, but otherwise, there aren't many 'Danish' options for buying a wall clock.
At Puretime, you'll find quality wooden wall clocks that appeal to both the quality-conscious design enthusiast and those who simply prefer products made from natural materials. If you choose one of my wall clocks, you'll get a silent wall clock in solid wood with a beautiful design from a Danish company where customer satisfaction is top-notch – check it out on Trustpilot (https://dk.trustpilot.com/review/puretime.dk).
All my wall clocks are made from solid oak, typically from Latvia and Lithuania, where the clocks are manufactured. The design is Danish, and the clocks are assembled, quality-checked, and tested at puretime.dk in Denmark. The collaboration with the carpenter who makes the dials is close. I have continuously worked to expand the assortment on puretime.dk and maintain a close dialogue with my carpenter on a daily basis.
Get an elegant wall clock in solid wood
A wooden wall clock adds an element of warmth and naturalness to your decor. When you prioritize solid wood, you add a touch of solidity and authenticity. The natural material in combination with a practical function is a winning combination.
If you choose a wall clock from Puretime, you get Danish design at its best. Quality in every detail. You get a dial in solid oak, a movement from German Junghans, and your new wall clock is assembled by hand and tested before it is sent to you. Attention has been paid to the details, and you can choose your own design combination:
- What design should the dial have? Numbers or markers? Color?
- What color do you prefer for the hands?
The movement is quality from Junghans. The hands, which are also German, are made of aluminum and are either black, silver-colored, or gold-colored.
Again, you can certainly find cheaper wooden clocks, but then they are typically mass-produced in China and/or in a cheaper type of veneer. You generally get what you pay for.

Danish Designed Clocks for Walls
A wall clock from puretime.dk is designed in Denmark by the owner of PureTime, Kenneth. I have been interested in design and aesthetics for many years and prefer the simple, streamlined, and timeless qualities of the Danish design tradition, which also leaves room for a focus on functionality.
I personally handle the final quality check of the dials, the assembly of the clocks with the movement and the hands you have chosen, and the shipping of the clocks directly to you.
Modern Wall Clocks Named After James Bond
The wall clocks in PureTime's collection are named after characters in the James Bond universe. I really love the universe around Bond, and there are many good, characterful names, so why not be inspired to name the wall clocks after them.
It should sound a bit luxurious while also having a thought behind it, shouldn't it? :)
Therefore, among my wall clocks, you will find:
- Vesper, a wall clock in light oak with dark carvings
- Mathis, a wall clock in light oak with somewhat 'groovy' numbers
- and Orso, a wall clock in light oak with stylish numbers
among the names of the wall clocks.
High-Quality Wall Clocks
If you are looking for a quality clock to adorn your wall, you can certainly find it at puretime.dk. I prioritize quality in all elements of the clock: dial, movement, hands, and the overall expression.
With the watch collection here at puretime.dk, I believe that you as a customer get high quality and good value for money.
For me, it's important to deliver a proper piece of craftsmanship, and fortunately, my carpenter feels the same way. We don't mass-produce, as we are both relatively small businesses – on the other hand, we put our heart and soul into it.
I doubt the large, mass-producing factories do :)
Every Dial is Unique
Solid wood is a natural product. Each wall clock is made from several assembled oak beams. Therefore, there will be small variations in color and structure on each individual dial. This contributes to the overall expression of the solid oak, which I have chosen to be the focus of PureTime's collection of wall clocks.
You get a unique wall clock with small distinctive features, presenting a range of natural characteristics specific to your dial and your wall clock.
Some are light, others are dark – some have beautiful medullary rays, others are uniform, some have large grains, etc. That's the beauty of uniqueness.
Solid Oak Dial
When you choose a wall clock from puretime.dk, you get a dial made of solid wood – no matter which wall clock you choose. It's solid oak from Latvia and Lithuania, where the dials are also made in a small workshop. So, it's the same type of wood throughout the dial. In PureTime's case, oak.
The advantages of choosing solid wood are that carvings can be easily made in the wood. And the carvings become beautiful and precise. If you choose to make the dial in veneer, it is more difficult to get the same beautiful carvings of numbers/markings. Therefore, veneer clocks typically have painted numbers/markings instead.

Craftsmanship and Quality Control of the Clock
Half of the work on each dial is done mechanically with a CNC router. The router cuts a pattern into the solid wood. The other half of the work is done by hand. Each dial is sanded, painted, polished, waxed, and buffed. Before the dials are sent to Denmark, a quality check is performed. Additionally, I perform a check when each wall clock is assembled and quality-checked before it is sent to you, the recipient of the clock from puretime.dk.
It might sound like sales talk, but for me, it is actually important that what I send out is of proper quality - and that I can personally vouch for the product.
This is again where it typically differs if you shop at a small webshop versus a large webshop or business.
Note that each clock is made from several assembled wooden beams, and there may be variations in color and structure (wood grain, medullary rays, etc.) in each dial. This is natural and makes every single dial completely unique. If you have special requests regarding the appearance, please note it in the comment field when placing your online wall clock order. I will do my utmost to accommodate special requests within the realm of possibility.
Once the carvings are made, the dial is treated with wax. If you prefer a different color than the natural oak color, the wall clock first receives a colored wax treatment.
The final finish on the dial is a clear wax, which helps to protect the dial from moisture. Solid wood does not tolerate a humid environment very well. The wax helps to ensure long durability and a beautiful surface that complements the clock's hands well.

Quality Movement from Junghans
The Junghans movement, which is of German quality, is hidden in a recess on the back of the dial itself, so you can enjoy the silence of a beautifully designed and extremely quiet wall clock. At the same time, the clock hangs neatly against the wall without protruding more than 2 cm from your walls. The 2 cm is the thickness of the solid dial.
Many wall clocks contain Chinese movements that are not as solid as the German ones, so remember to check what's inside the wall clock you buy next time.
Some will claim that the movement in these wall clocks is silent. I can say with 100% certainty that the movement is at least quiet. If you stand with your ear right up to the clock and movement, you might hear a very faint sound. Whether you get a silent wall clock from puretime.dk, I will leave that up to you and your hearing to decide. I personally experience it as a wall clock without sound.

The movement uses only a single AA battery, which is also included when you receive your delivery from puretime.dk.
Choose Your Own Clock Hands
Once you have selected your dial, you need to choose the color of hands you want for the clock. The hands on your new wall clock are available in 3 different colors:
- black
- silver-colored
- gold-colored
All hands are made in Germany from aluminum.
Precisely these 3 color options have been chosen because I believe they create the perfect interplay with the solid oak dials. The colors fit well within a Danish design tradition and have a classic, timeless expression that will never go out of style. Therefore, you get a wall clock that you can proudly display in your home for many years.
For each wall clock model, you can see pictures of the dial with each of the 3 color options for the hands.

Large Wall Clocks
All wall clocks at Puretime are 28 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick solid oak. Space has been created on the back of the clock for the movement, so the clock can hang flush against the wall in your home.
With a wall clock of this size, most people can relatively easily see what time it is – even from a greater distance, for example, in a large living room. Therefore, the large wall clocks in Puretime's collection fit into most homes.

The wall clock from puretime.dk will therefore become a natural focal point of a certain size, without, however, stealing all attention from other interior elements.
Dial Diameter
There are also larger wall clocks on the market - up to 40 cm in diameter and 3-4 cm in thickness. These can fit well in certain larger rooms, but I have chosen to limit myself to the size of 28 cm in diameter and 2 cm in thickness, as I believe it is a natural size that does not appear too bulky and heavy in design.
If you are looking for a very large wall clock, for example, as a focal point on a large wall, it will often be a clock where you have to mount the numbers or markings on the wall yourself. It often pays to spend time preparing for the mounting so that the numbers/markings are neatly placed. Even a few millimeters of misalignment will disturb the eye for most people.
You can avoid that annoyance by choosing a clock where you only need to mount the dial itself on the wall.
