[Umbra's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umbra-buddy) Cage Wall Clock by Alan Wisniewski is a fresh and modern translation of a [retro design concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defy-chronograph-usm). When creating the timekeeper, Alan looked to the past for his inspiration and modeled the item after a classic clock one would see in their childhood gym class.

The nostalgic home accessory measures 16" in diameter and is made from solid wood materials. The clock is accented with a [domed metal element](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moov-and-coo) that is the inspiration behind its caged wall clock name.

The retro-themed clock is sure to become an accent piece in modern interiors or elegant office spaces. Designer Alan Wisniewski is a graduate from Humber College's Industrial Design program and is known for creating other Umbra favorites like his specs paper clips that are modeled after various glasses frames.
