The Sunburst Clock: Shine a Light on Your Wall

A clock is just a simple indicator of time.  24 hours, 60 seconds, three or more hands, constantly ticking. It somehow makes you wonder why timepieces, especially wristwatches, can cost more than a family sedan.  The irony of it?  Indeed, time is gold but priceless.  It is so important that once you lose a nanosecond, you can never have it back.  And there is something in the sunburst clock design that delves on a deeper meaning such as time.

The design resembles the rays of the sun.  For people in the know, this gives out an impression of positivity.  Its rays point in all directions, encompassing space in its entirety.  The rays apparently represent a positive energy.  Governed by esthetic principles, sunburst clock designs have evolved with time as well.

While there are a lot of designs to choose from, sunburst clocks have remained competitive in the market.  Prices range from double-digit figures to hundreds.  If owning one is part of your plan, going for the gold is okay.  Settling for a pricey piece is not that bad a decision especially if you plan to have it for a long term, or for as long as it defines style in a room and doesn’t spoil the other aspects of design.  If well taken care of, you only have to worry about the batteries.

There are thousands of other large wall clock designs, but these are plain designs.  There is nothing attached to it, just a piece of artwork.  The sunburst alone displays an eclectic line.  But they fall short in meaning.  It is hard to find meaning in simple things these days.  People are too preoccupied to compete with time before it runs out.  But a simple clock had the capacity to penetrate through what is essential and set aside its material value just by its outline.
