Crossword puzzles are believed to have first been created in England back in the 19th Century. A journalist by the name of Arthur Wynne from the port city of Liverpool created the first brain teaser for wide public enjoyment and this appeared in a newspaper on December 21, 1913. At first the puzzles contained no black squares and looked unfamiliar to today’s versions but soon designs changed and so did the popularity of the crossword puzzle. By the 1930s, puzzles were appearing nationwide and indeed, in publications across the world.

This square word puzzle wall clock will make an excellent decorative and functional addition for a crossword lover. It will be a reminder of a much loved pastime hobby and will bring some humor into the home when visiting friends and family come visiting. It can be placed on a kitchen wall to make sure the kids are on time for school or alternatively in a home library, study or bedroom. If you like solving puzzles whilst in the bathroom, then it will look great in that particular interior as well.

Contemporary Analog
If you’re looking for an uncomplicated way to keep time with modern style, look no further than a simple analog clock. Similar in appearance to the clocks you see at offices, stores, and schools, their large numbers, thick hour and minute hands, and sweeping second hands create a bold look while ensuring that the time will be easy for everyone to read, even from a distance. Oversize classic analog clocks (anywhere from 18 to 48 inches in diameter) make a “big” statement in any room.

Cuckoo for Cuckoo Clocks
With their earliest prototypes dating back to the mid-1700s, cuckoo clocks have been reliably keeping time for close to four centuries. Skilled craftsmen construct traditional cuckoo clocks from wood, adorn them with intricate carvings of plants and animals, and finish them with a face of Roman numerals and a pair of weights shaped like pine cones. True to their namesake, cuckoo clocks feature a small automated bird that appears through a trap door to “chirp” whenever the clock strikes. Cuckoo clocks are perfect for adding down-home appeal to any space with rustic, traditional, or cottage-style decor.
