Walls Can’t Talk, but Tell Time
So digital and analog are pretty clear cut, but what forms do these two different clock designs take? One is the wall clock. We’ve probably all got at least one of these in a room of our home somewhere. My experience has been that they’re almost always an analog style, too, with a clock face of numbers or roman numerals and a set of hands that point at the appropriate ones. I like the roman numeral style clocks, they feel more stylish.
Wall clocks are also pretty simple to put together on your own, since you make them pretty much by finding any circular surface, drilling a hole in it, and then putting the clock mechanism on the back while you shove the hands on the front. This ease in customization and assembly makes them quite inexpensive compared to digital clocks, so imprinted wall clocks are great promotional items! You can get one as simple as a logo slapped on part of the face or an entirely custom clock face with full color graphics. Since everyone could use a clock, they’re an item that’s guaranteed to see some use and get some face time.
