Moving house saw my old faithful kitchen clock have it's last tick tock. The kitchen clock is very underrated in general with very little written or blogged about and yet I've lost count of the number of cakes I've baked keeping an eye on it. I'm one of those cooks who rarely ( unless I am recipe writing ) times things in the oven other than glancing at the kitchen clock. It is perhaps one of the most important items in my kitchen. I must look at the clock thirty times a day easily and so my choice really needed careful consideration.
If you are are a regular reader of my blog then you will know that I love British designs so I’ve gone for a Newgate clock. The company is owned by Jim & Chloe Read and is a British company through and through. Their designs are heavily influenced by classic, vintage and retro with a touch of modernism and their clocks all seem to have a romantic story such as a rare find on on a London market or a rescue from a house being demolished! Their clocks are just seem so versatile and I spotted one a while ago in one of my friend’s kitchens and I had also been considering which one to get a few weeks ago in my local kitchen shop.
Interestingly my friends kitchen is ultra modern .. but these clocks seem to look good in any setting, but I think this quad clock, which is a recreation of a clock found on Portobello Road looks particularly good in my new kitchen !
So to win one of these gorgeous clocks for your kitchen my question is.. do you use a kitchen timer or do you use the clock alone when you are baking?
