Clocks are the quiet half of our business. Schools, offices and homes across Kanpur come to us for Ajanta and other wall, table and pendulum clocks — and the same questions come up every time.
Get the size right for the wall
As a rule, the clock should read clearly from the far side of the room without anyone leaning in.
- 8-10 inch: kitchens, study desks, small bedrooms.
- 12-14 inch: living rooms and standard offices — the most common choice.
- 16 inch and above: halls, reception areas, classrooms and shop floors.
Silent sweep versus ticking movement
A silent sweep movement glides the seconds hand with no audible tick — the right choice for bedrooms, study rooms and meeting rooms. Standard step movements tick once a second and cost less, which is fine for kitchens, corridors and open offices.
Pendulum and decorative clocks
Pendulum and chime clocks work best on a large, uncluttered wall where the movement is visible. Check whether the chime can be silenced at night before buying one for a living room.
Office and institutional buying
Schools and offices usually want matched clocks across rooms, consistent numerals and easy battery access. Tell us the room count and we will quote a matched set.
Mounting and batteries
- Mount at eye level or slightly above, away from direct sunlight.
- Use a good alkaline cell — cheap cells leak and ruin the movement.
- Keep clocks off walls that share a heavy door frame; the vibration loosens hands over time.
