Boilerplate

Free to use word for word, no attribution needed.

Whatever O'Clock makes made-to-order 10-inch wall clocks carrying short, deliberately chosen words. Buyers pick the face colour, text colour, frame and hands before ordering, and each clock is printed and assembled after the order is placed rather than held as stock. Clocks are $44 with free shipping. The studio is based on the south coast of England; production and fulfilment for U.S. customers happen in the United States.

Story angles

Three directions that have something to say. Happy to go deeper on any of them, on the record.

A clock that swears at hustle culture

Whatever O'Clock sells wall clocks carrying blunt, profane responses to overwork. It is the deliberate inversion of the calm-mindfulness decor category.

Burnout as a decor category

The rise of anti-productivity humour as something people put on a wall rather than post and forget. A funny-gift and a workplace trend story at once.

One studio, two opposite brands

The same designer runs a serious mindfulness clock brand and its profane opposite, printed on the same production line.

Founder

Name Mark, Founder & Designer
Based South coast of England, United Kingdom

Whatever O'Clock is run by Mark, a designer who spent over a decade building websites before starting the studio in 2026. The longer version of that story, and a photograph, are on the about page.
