About the Large Puffin and Crab Clock, 30cm

KayCee is the artist behind Gullz R Loud, a Cornish brand with shops in St Ives and Penzance. Her designs start as original paintings and are printed onto the clock face, and the clock is designed in Cornwall. Her signature sits in the corner of the design.

This puffin and crab wall clock has full numbers from 1 to 12, set around the edge, black hour and minute hands and a slim red second hand. At 30cm across, it's easy to read from across a kitchen or hall without filling the wall.

There's no ticking to keep you awake: the maker says the mechanism is virtually silent, which makes this quiet puffin wall clock a good choice for a bedroom, a study or a holiday let. It takes one AA battery, which isn't included.

Puffins are a favourite for good reason. Around 100 pairs breed on the Isles of Scilly, arriving in mid-April and leaving by August, and boat trips run out to see them. They're on the UK's red list of birds of conservation concern, so a sighting is special. For anyone who's been, or wants to go, this is one of the nicer puffin gifts we have.

Most nautical clocks lean on anchors and ship's wheels. As a nautical wall clock, this one is gentler and a little quirky, so it suits a coastal kitchen as well as a beach house. Our Large Pasty Thief Clock is its seagull partner, the same size in cream.
