Time. There’s always something you need to be doing or heading to, which is why it’s practical to have a clock so you always know what time it is. Whether you need to catch a bus, go to football practice or pick up the kids on time, you can certainly benefit from an alarm clock or a wall clock. And if it is decorative and aesthetically pleasing as well, it can help decorate your interior. At Rosendahl.com, we love to look at time beautifully. We believe that a clock should be able to do more than just show the time. It can also help to elevate your home decor and express your personality.

Tick, tock, there was once a clock

The mechanical clock is many centuries old. Before the invention of the clock, time was measured using a sundial, which divided the time from sunrise to sunset into 12 hours. The first mechanical clocks were found in the monasteries and cathedrals of the 13th century in Europe, so the monks knew when to hold mass. A century later, clocks were installed on public buildings so that the general population could follow the time. The earliest clocks had no time display, but were instead equipped with a bell or hammer mechanism to indicate the time. The clock suddenly made life more organised, because everyone agreed on the time. This also meant that time was considered a limited resource that could be wasted or exploited – hence the expression that time is money.

Over the years and as the clocks were manufactured that were both smaller and more accurate, the demands on clockmakers grew. From around 1500 to 1800, the clockmaker was one of the most advanced artisans, who helped drive the development of mechanical tools and technological developments in general. Today, the clock is not only a necessity for us to know the time, but is available to suit every personal need. A clock can be designed to hang on the wall, stand on the table or adorn your wrist. While traditional timepieces only had one function, telling the time, most of today’s clocks and watches have been created with an aesthetic and beautiful design that can serve as an expression of one’s individual style.

Choosing the right clock

Clocks come in a wide array of shapes, types and designs. So it's a good idea to start by setting out your needs. Perhaps you’re looking for a table clock to wake you up in the morning, or maybe a wall clock to keep an eye on the time during the day. The clock's design is also an important factor for most people. Colours, materials and shapes can express our individual style and help to add a personal touch to your home decor. So consider what style you prefer. Do you lean towards classic, minimalist or perhaps a futuristic style? There are many options when it comes to finding the right clock and weather station, so it’s worth considering what's available before making your choice, so that you’re happy with your purchase. Last but not least, the quality is crucial when it comes to clocks. A clock that doesn't show the time correctly or a weather station that predicts summer and sun on a winter’s day is of no use to anyone, yet poor quality can still be found on the market today. A high quality clock and weather station is an investment. You'll get precision along with elegant design that suits your personal taste and lasts a lifetime.

Arne Jacobsen clocks

Master architect Arne Jacobsen is a style icon when it comes to clocks. What's magical is that Arne Jacobsen’s clocks boast a timeless design that makes them as original today as when he created them. His design heritage includes wristwatches, table clocks and wall clocks with weather station for you to follow the weather conditions. The clocks’ design is still current and modern due to their elegant, minimalist form. Choose from the classic series: Bankers, Roman, LK, City Hall or Station, which are characterised by a classic style that can suit all tastes.

Learn more about the weather with a weather station

In the past, the weather was something you heard about on the weather forecast that came straight after the TV news. Here, the weather forecast predicted what the weather would be like in the next few days, so you had a sense of whether it was time to pack away the winter coat or not. Today, however, the weather is something we all have access to. Either from our phones, but even more so from a weather station located in the home. A weather station is also called a hygrometer and is used to measure weather conditions both inside the house and out. With a weather station, you can, among other things, measure the temperature so that you can ensure the right indoor climate and dress appropriately when you go outside. You can also measure humidity, so you know when it’s time to air out, as well as air pressure, which helps to predict the weather. There are differences between the various weather stations, and some models are better than others. When you invest in quality, you know that the weather station will continue to function over time and that it is good at predicting the weather.

On this page you can find Arne Jacobsen weather stations, where you can keep track of time, temperature, humidity and air pressure all in one stylish package. With a weather station, you can always follow the weather locally, and if you choose an Arne Jacobsen model, you will also get beautiful, simple Danish design for your wall.

Table clocks

Need an alarm clock that can get you up from under the covers in the morning? Then it’s a table clock you’re looking for. You may want to consider how technical you would like the clock to be. Perhaps you’re looking for a simple model that just wakes you up on time, or would you like the clock to have stylish details such as a light sensor and snooze mode? Of course, good details cost more than a simple model, but here you get quality design that can help make waking up a bit more comfortable.

Decorate with wall clocks

A wall clock ensures you can always see the time at home. This is both practical and pleasant, because you can organise your daily routine better if you don't have to check the time on your phone all the time. A wall clock is also a natural part of the interior design. A clock that's hung from the wall will usually be a big clock, so you can see it from a distance. That’s why it pays to have a certain awareness of the clock's design and style, so that it fits with the room and your tastes. Clocks and weather stations can help make a difference in your interior design. You get them both with and without numbers, and they are also available in digital versions. So it's worth considering which style suits you best.

Where should the clock hang?

When you buy a wall clock, it’s worth considering where to hang it first. This can have an influence on the size of the clock, as it must be able to fit both on the wall and in the room. Would you like to hang it in the living room? Or perhaps in the kitchen, where you frequently find yourself and often need to know the time. Many people have a large clock hanging on the kitchen wall, so they can see it from the sink and stove. This makes it easy to keep track of the time in the morning, so you know whether you need to hurry up with your morning coffee or you can take it a little easier. Although most of us have watches on our phones or wrists, it’s nice to be able to keep track of time while we’re cooking, tidying up or lounging on the sofa. The clock also helps to make life more manageable, especially today when so many of us are busy with errands, work and life in general. 

Once you have selected the room you want the clock to hang in, you should start by measuring the wall. Keep an eye on how big the wall clock is and how much of the wall it will take up. If you have high ceilings, your space can look great with a large clock, while a smaller wall clock is more suitable for smaller houses with low ceilings, such as thatched houses or a classic half-timbered house.
