Lowell wall clocks - timelessly classic or modern

The Lowell brand has been one of the clock specialists since 1972. Starting with wall clocks, the company has expanded its activities over the years to cover the full range of timepieces: mantel clocks, pendulum clocks, grandfather clocks, table clocks, alarm clocks, and weather stations. Ongoing research into shapes and materials, manufacturing techniques, and precise Italian and European craftsmanship and tradition give Lowell clocks their distinctive features. From wood to metal, from classic to modern, all the way to striking designs, each piece has its unique personality.

Alongside many modern Lowell mantel clocks, a classic antique-style wall clock was chosen as this week’s clock of the week. The Lowell 21460B wall clock comes in a light white, cream-white finish. The dial, with its black Roman numerals and black ornate hands, is protected by a curved glass front and framed by a white metal case. The Lowell wall clock is also decorated with silver-colored appliqués that make the clock look like a pocket watch. This interplay of antique elements makes the clock something truly special.

So what does antique actually mean?

For the term antique, the Duden dictionary gives the following definition:

  1. relating to classical antiquity; originating from classical antiquity
  2. originating from a bygone era or made in its style (of objects, especially furnishings)

So at first, antique is simply an expression of everyday language and means "old" or "made to look old". A distinction should also be made between "antique" and "antiquity", as well as between "antique" and "in antique style". That is why, at Uhren4you.de, we describe our clocks as antique-style. Because, like the Lowell 21460B with its many antique elements such as the Roman numerals or the silver-colored appliqués that make the clock look like a replica of a pocket watch, they are designed only in an "antique style". Nevertheless, this can also skillfully reflect the antique character in your living spaces.
