Whatever O'Clock makes wall clocks that say things like "Who cares" and "Time is bullshit". You pick the colours, and nothing gets made until you've ordered it.

Facts, photos and how to get hold of me are all below. If something's missing, email hello@whateveroclock.com and I'll send it.

If you're doing a gift guide, they're $44 with shipping, and I can send you one in whatever colours you want.

Boilerplate

Free to use word for word.

Whatever O'Clock designs made-to-order 10-inch wall clocks with short, mostly profane things to say about work. Buyers choose the face colour, text colour, frame, hands and typeface, and each clock is printed and assembled in the United States after it's ordered. They cost $44 including shipping. The studio is one person on the south coast of England.

Story angles

Happy to talk about any of these on the record.

Wall clocks that swear

Most wall clocks with words on them want you to live, laugh and love. These say "Get to fuck".

The office joke, on the office wall

People already send each other these jokes about meetings and Mondays. This puts one on the wall, where you look at it all day.

Same bloke makes the calm ones

Mark K. also runs Zen Wall Clocks ("This too shall pass") and Now Clocks, which just says "now". All three come off the same printer. He's aware what that says about him.
