Yggdrasil Large Tree of Life Wall Clock 80 cm with Moving Gears

Yggdrasil large Tree of Life wall clock with moving gears

The Yggdrasil large wall clock is a striking decorative timepiece inspired by the symbolic Tree of Life. A detailed gold tree with sweeping branches, leaves and birds is set against a deep black background, while visible moving gears introduce depth and mechanical character behind the design.

Measuring 80 cm in diameter, the clock has the scale required for a spacious living room, dining room, study or entrance hall. The elaborate tree motif can be appreciated from across the room, while the layered gears reveal finer detail when viewed more closely.

The combination of black, gold and aged bronze gives Yggdrasil a distinctive presence without limiting it to one interior style. It can complement modern classic, contemporary, industrial, eclectic and loft-inspired schemes, functioning as both a practical clock and a substantial piece of wall décor.

A black and gold Tree of Life wall clock

The central feature of the design is a broad Tree of Life arranged within the circular clock face. Its trunk, roots and spreading canopy form a balanced composition, while decorative leaves, curling branches and small bird silhouettes add further visual detail.

The gold tree stands out clearly against the black background, creating a strong contrast that remains visible even in a larger room. The roots at the base visually anchor the composition, while the wide canopy fills the upper part of the dial and draws the eye across the entire design.

The familiar Tree of Life motif gives the clock a more individual character than a conventional numbered dial. It introduces a nature-inspired element while retaining the structure and visual impact of a large metal wall clock.

A wall clock with visible moving gears

Visible gear-style components appear between the branches and around the lower section of the tree. Their bronze and aged gold tones coordinate with the main motif while adding a technical contrast inspired by traditional clockmaking.

The moving gears bring a subtle kinetic quality to the design and make the clock visually engaging throughout the day. Because parts of the mechanism sit behind the branches, the details reveal themselves gradually rather than appearing as one flat surface.

A glass front protects the decorative face while keeping the tree, hands and mechanical elements clearly visible. Reflections across the glass can add further depth when the clock is positioned near soft directional lighting.

A large wall clock measuring 80 cm in diameter

With a diameter of 80 cm, Yggdrasil is well suited to broad walls and generously proportioned interiors. It can be displayed above a sideboard, console table, sofa or dining room cabinet, where it can replace a large artwork or a collection of smaller wall accessories.

The circular form softens the straight lines of furniture, wall panelling and architectural features. A depth of 8.5 cm gives the clock a more substantial three-dimensional presence, helping it project gently from the wall rather than appearing like a flat print.

On a pale wall, the black face creates a bold graphic contrast and allows the gold tree to stand out. Against navy, charcoal, deep green or dark timber, the metallic details take on a richer and more atmospheric appearance.

A statement wall clock for a living room

In a living room, Yggdrasil can become the principal feature above a wide sideboard or console table. Because the clock face is already highly decorative, only a small number of accessories are needed beneath it. A tall table lamp, ceramic vase or compact sculptural object will complete the arrangement without competing with the design.

Hung above a sofa, the round silhouette balances the horizontal line of the seating and creates a clear focal point for the room. The black and gold palette works particularly well with upholstery in ivory, beige, grey, brown, navy or deep green.

The metallic finish can be echoed through lamp bases, mirror frames, cabinet handles or occasional furniture in bronze, brass or aged gold tones.

A decorative clock for a dining room, study or library

In a dining room, the clock can be positioned above a sideboard or on a wall beside the table. Its gold detailing can be repeated subtly through pendant lighting, candle holders or selected table accessories.

In a study, the visible gears introduce a mechanical note that works beautifully with dark timber, leather seating, metal shelving and a substantial desk. The Tree of Life motif softens the technical character and gives the design a more decorative and timeless quality.

Yggdrasil is equally suited to a home library, entrance hall or open-plan living space where one large decorative feature is required to suit the proportions of the room.

A Tree of Life clock for modern classic and industrial interiors

Yggdrasil complements modern classic, industrial, loft-inspired, contemporary and eclectic interiors. The black face and visible gears bring structure and mechanical detail, while the gold tree introduces warmth and a more decorative focal point.

The clock pairs well with marble, travertine, glass, dark veneer, architectural concrete, black metal and leather. It can also be styled alongside pale timber, neutral fabrics and bouclé upholstery for a softer contrast.

Within a more traditional room, the clock can be displayed between wall mouldings or above a simple console table. In a more industrial setting, the gold tree provides warmth against exposed brick, concrete and darker materials.

A large decorative clock for hotels, restaurants and offices

The 80 cm scale and recognisable Tree of Life motif also make Yggdrasil suitable for refined commercial interiors. It can create a memorable focal point in a boutique hotel, restaurant, reception area, executive office, showroom or private members’ club.

Its practical function and detailed design allow it to serve as both a working clock and a decorative wall feature. The size is particularly effective in larger spaces where smaller accessories may appear under-scaled.

How to display the Yggdrasil wall clock

Display the clock on a wall with sufficient clear space around it so that the circular outline, tree motif and visible gears remain easy to appreciate.

When hanging it above a sideboard or console table, centre the clock in relation to the furniture beneath. Above a sofa, consider the width of the seating and leave an appropriate gap between the top of the furniture and the lower edge of the clock.

Soft light from a wall light, floor lamp or table lamp can emphasise the gold finish, aged metal frame and layered mechanical details.

How to care for the glass and metal surfaces

Clean the glass front with a soft, lint-free cloth. Apply a suitable glass cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying it directly onto the clock, helping to prevent moisture from entering the case.

Dust the metal frame and accessible decorative elements regularly using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh detergents and heavy polishing, as these may alter the aged finish.

When replacing the batteries, remove the clock carefully from the wall and place it on a stable, protected surface to help prevent damage to the glass, frame or mechanism.
