Westclox Clocks & Timers

Staples provides a broad range of Westclox clocks and timers, along with certificate frames and other decor items, including picture frames and decorative thermometers, to complement the home and office furnishings. The essential features to consider when choosing the right clock to meet your needs include the color scheme of the room, antique or contemporary design, size, and the point of placement, among other features.

Work with the color scheme of the room
Choose a clock that brightens the mood of a dull space by blending well with the room's color scheme. Decorative clocks with vibrant hues are ideal for improving the aesthetic look and feel of neutral color settings.

If the interior decor of the room features an eclectic style and arrangement, a small minimal-color clock is more suitable and compatible as an additional design element. Contrasting colors and patterns are more popular with designers and are recommendable for a stylish and modern look.

Choose between an antique-style and contemporary clock
Antique-style clock designs reminiscent of the 18th and 19th centuries are an ideal fit for retro home decor and gift-giving. These clocks are available in mantel, floor, and wall-mounted models. A sizable traditional clock adds an elegant touch to a stark interior and also makes for a fantastic conversation piece.

Modern Westclox clocks with futuristic designs and unique twists to traditional designs are available as well. Integrating a contemporary clock into the office decor is essential for an industrial minimalist or charming modern look.

Consider the size of the Westclox clock
Large clocks work best for rooms with higher ceilings and lots of wall space. Colored, textured, and patterned clock faces for larger sizes are central to impactful interior design.

Small pieces enhance the overall look of rooms with a minimal wall surface. Find a mantel clock for a charming individual look. Small and colorful clocks give a fun and animated look to kids' rooms and also enhance the overall energy.

Where will you place the clock?
Choose a Westclox timepiece with bright and exciting colors for children's rooms to make for vibrant wall space. Kids' clocks must have the second hand and other additional features for educational purposes. Sleek and slim-lined designs offer a practical and colorful ambiance for kitchen spaces. Select an oversized antiqued Westclox clock for vast wall spaces to achieve a sense of depth and unique interior design.

How do you clean and maintain the clocks?
It's recommendable to oil mechanical clock movements every two years from the date of purchase, and clean thoroughly every five to 10 years. Use a soft cloth with a quality ammonia-free cleaner to wipe the glass. Contact an authorized Westclox service center for cleaning and maintenance services.

Why aren't the clock hands moving?
The most common reason is that the batteries are flat. Ensure all the battery slots contain brand new well-inserted batteries.

Why isn't the Westclox clock keeping time?
Most likely, the batteries have become weak, and you should consider replacing them. Clocks run slower than usual when the cells begin to get weak.
