I think most of you know by now how much I love miniature clocks. I'm so happy I found an assortment of retro miniature clocks from The Emporium on Amazon! All of these little clocks all take me back to different periods of time. Not only that, but they are all very unique in design.

My favorite piece has to be this Radio Novelty Old Fashion clock. It reminds me of being a kid.

I've always wanted a Victorian style bathtub like this miniature vintage bathtub clock! I feel like it makes your bathroom extra elegant.

Take a step into Italy in the 1940's with this classic Vespa clock. The clock shape is so interesting!

Are there any tailors or seamstresses here who can't get enough of the old style sewing machines? This old fashioned sewing machine clock would be fun to have in a craft room!

I think this miniature piano clock would be so cute to have displayed on top of your grand piano at home! Now you can time how long you've been practicing in a groovy way.

I love how funky these collectibles are. It's a fun way to decorate your home and appreciate history at the same time! What do you think of these retro miniature clocks from The Emporium? Make sure to comment down below and let me know!

7 Stunning Fancy and Glamorous Vintage Syroco Clocks

I can appreciate modern home decor, but I'm still a sucker for vintage clocks. In my opinion, there is nothing more elegant than having an antique wood clock. The best are those that are carved or sculpted into beautiful shapes. Is that a lost art nowadays?

Syroco was a company famous for their wood-pulp products. Even though their molds only looked like carvings, they did a brilliant job with the resemblance. Here are my 7 favorite vintage Syroco clocks on Ebay.

This vintage 1960's starburst wall clock reminds me of the atomic age! It looks absolutely like pristine wood, but it's actually plastic. The lettering on the face of the clock is really cool and funky. It's probably my favorite feature.

I cannot believe the detail that went into this retro Jeweled Wind clock. I can see this being used in a beautiful Victorian mansion. The design is just amazing. This clock would be a showstopper in anyone's home.

This midcentury starburst clock is my favorite. I love the darker features on the face and the light lettering. I also enjoy how the rays overlap each other.

When I saw this atomic Mid Century starbust sun clock all I could say is "Wow!" It's not really my style, nor could I hang it in my house, but it's glamorous. The detail is phenomenal and reminds me of something from Norse mythology. The rays look like sharp crystals emerging from the face.

This Ornate Gold Wall Clock is a cute and elegant. I think I remember my great grandma having something like this in her living room. I always thought it was pretty! Now I can have one of my own.

This vintage wall clock is like a flower. Simple but stunning. It is also in perfect working condition! I think I would take the risk and stain it a different color. Maybe a redder wood tone would make this stand out even more.

I've never seen a clock like this before. The regency floral wall clock looks like a piece of art. I wouldn't even care if it was actually useful. There are so many beautiful elements to this clock! It looks like it came straight from Alice Through the Looking Glass.

Do you think Syroco clocks are awesome and can work in a modern home? If so, which one is your favorite? They are all so unique in their design. Take a peek at more vintage Syroco clocks on Ebay.

This red retro sewing machine clock is from Allen Designs. I love the little pair of scissors that's used as a pendulum! \

Here's a desk clock or table clock shaped like a sewing machine. It's by Sanis Enterprises.

Here's a similar styled sewing machine desk clock by Artisan Collection. It's a bit more industrial looking.

This gorgeous two tone sewing machine clock might look nice in a Hollywood Regency styled contemporary home. It's so fancy! Note that it's a miniature, very small clock.

Note that this black sewing machine clock is meant to be displayed on your mantel.

These might make a nice small gift for that elderly relative in your life who still sews!

Charming Reproduction Table Clocks from Creative Co-Op

I really love vintage clocks. Each one really represents the time and place in which they were made. A little play on words for you! It's true though, the styles are very definitive! These awesome Table Clocks from Creative Co-Op will surely entice any retro lover. Note: These are all reproductions, but they are still cool anyway!

This particular reproduction Yellow Metal Rustic Retro Table Clock reminds me of the classic Alice in Wonderland. I feel like this would be in the White Rabbit's house. I really enjoy the oval shape and pastel colors used. This would be a fun addition to your spring decor as well!

Does anyone else recall having this Metal Table Clock style clock in their home? Maybe this was in my grandparents house when I was a kid, but I definitely recognize this design. I always really liked the dark background with gold numerals on the face of the clock. This definitely makes me reminisce about my childhood.

This Pewter Table Clock with Metal Pocket Watch Stand is so much fun in this bright red color. Not only that, the face looks like a wristwatch, which is very cool.

My favorite retro designs are similar to this Metal Bottle Cap Wall Clock. I wish it said "tea" instead of "coffee", but it's still a very cute concept! I think it's very clever that the clock as a whole is shaped like a bottle cap.

The last clock I wanted to show you is this really elegant Shabby Cottage Chic Metal Bird Desk Clock. This also brings back memories for me as well. My grandmother used to have a very similar clock in her office. I love how it acts as functional decor. I remember my grandmother also having decorative birds around the house that looked very much like this one!

Quirky Vintage Alarm Clocks by RedChiliPeppers on Etsy

I have a bad reputation for never using my alarm clock. In fact, I feel they are best used as decoration! Which is why I wanted to show you guys these vintage alarm clocks by Red Chili Peppers on Etsy. Let's travel a few decades back and take a look!

This beautiful vintage Red Alarm Clock-Winding Alarm from the Czech Republic would be a great addition to my night stand. This is from the 1980's and is in working condition! It measures 4" in diameter and 4.5" in height. I absolutely love the sleek and shiny red coloring. I think what really ties this clock together is the funky numbering!

This is a little older than the latter. The Big Beige Alarm Clock from the Soviet Union was made in the 1970's. It almost has a gold shine when you look at it in the pictures. This has a 4 jewels mechanism and is in working condition. It's a fairly large clock measuring almost 5 inches in diameter and 5.1 inches in height.

I love this gorgeous Big Turquoise Alarm Clock! It's one of my favorite colors and I love the design of this one in particular. This is from the Soviet Union in the 1970's from the little village of Jantar. The diameter is almost 5 inches and it is 5.1 inches tall. The clock is in working condition!

This vintage clock has a very sporty feel. The Big Green Alarm Clock is also from the Soviet Union made in Jantar in the 1970's. It is the same size as the latter being almost 5 inches in diameter and standing 5.1 inches. It's not my favorite color or style, but I am sure it will fit in someone's collection!

What a groovy Big Yellow Alarm Clock! I love the glossy yellow shine and the metal body! This one is bound to attract people's attention. It's from 1980's Germany Meiser Anker. It measures about 4.8" in diameter and 6.7" in height. It's in perfect working condition.

This is another really awesome vintage alarm clock! The face of this Big Red Gold Alarm Clock has so much character with the gold lettering and red background. The diameter is about 4.3 inches and 5.1 inches tall. This is from the 1970's in Jantar Soviet Russia. It's so cute!

This classic Silver Alarm Clock would work for anywhere. This is a very old clock that comes from Jaz, France in the 1920's. The diameter is 3.7 inches. This alarm clock has a pretty chrome-silver metal body, hand winding, and in good hardware condition.
