Clocks can be decorative, clocks can be functional, but I prefer one that looks good on the wall. I have a hand-painted cat clock that makes me smile every time I look at it. Here are some cute clocks I've picked out for you to look at.

You can buy a boring basic clock for $10, or you can pay more and have a fun clock like this. The hand-painted dog hangs upside down, with a bone as the pendulum.

I love the idea of items being reused to make something completely different, so this clock made from a vintage hubcap is a really clever — and green — idea. There are other models, if you have a favourite vintage car.

Not a cheap clock, but a beautiful piece of art as well as a timepiece. The two swirls of colour have a retro 70's feel, and would make the clock look stunning on a plain wall.

This is so bright and cheerful! It would look perfect in a kitchen. To add to the cute details, the hands each feature a ladybird, and the pendulum a butterfly.

What a beautiful clock! The black and gold colours are very stylish, as are the spiral folds. Another artistic clock that would look amazing against a monochrome wall.

I love the way that the hours have been made into a colourful pattern here. The cutout shows the bright blue background — another clock with a retro feel.

A lovely piece of metalwork here, with a red swirly design. It's an excellent price too, when you could easily pay that for something far less original.

Another piece of clever recycling here, with a clock made from an old tobacco tin. I guess almost anything can be turned into a clock! Bonus: no loud tick, if you find that annoying.
Which is your favourite clock, and do you like your clock to look good on the wall? Or don't you care what it looks like, as long as it does its job and tells the time?
