Custom desk clocks give a company something better to hand over than a card, and this page collects the clock awards we engrave and print for recognition programs. The range includes optical crystal styles such as the Teresa Clock at 8 inches, jade glass such as the Derby Clock at 5.25 inches, rosewood such as the Custom Rosewood Mantle Clock at 9 inches, and metal such as the Putman desk clock in aluminum. Pick the material first, then read the imprint area on that clock, because the space you get for a logo changes a lot from one style to the next.
Materials in this range
Optical crystal is the most common look here. The Adams crystal desk clock stands 6.5 inches tall and lists a deep etch area of 4 inches by 2 inches, which holds a name, a title, and a date without shrinking the type. Jade glass reads greener in daylight, and the Woodbine jade clock at 7.5 inches lists a 3 inch by 2 inch etch area. The Derby Clock is the smaller jade option at 5.25 inches with a 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch area, and the Gibson Clock lists starfire crystal at 7.25 inches.
Wood suits a retirement piece. The Custom Rosewood Mantle Clock stands 9 inches and lists laser engraving in a 2.5 inch by 2 inch area. The Custom Printed Cronus Clock pairs rosewood with metal at 7 inches wide by 7 inches high by 2.44 inches deep, and it lists both laser engraving and a digital full color process on the plate below the dial.
Metal and glass cover the modern desk. The Putman desk clock is aluminum at 7.875 inches with a 2.5 inch by 1 inch engraving area. The Arch Glass Desk Clock with Alarm measures 5.75 inches wide by 6.25 inches high by 1.75 inches deep and places its engraving on the back at 3.25 inches wide by 1.25 inches high. Smaller metal pieces include the Spiral Polished Metal Desk Clock at 6.5 inches high and the Celestial Silver Gimbal Clock, a 2.88 inch cube.
How your logo goes on
Several styles list deep etching, several list laser engraving, and a smaller group lists a digital full color process for marks that need more than one color. The imprint pricing we see on these clocks covers one side and one location. Areas stay small, so a wordy tagline rarely survives the size. Bring the company mark, a name, and a date, and leave the rest out.
- Deep etch: listed on crystal and jade styles such as the Adams crystal desk clock and the Woodbine jade clock.
- Laser engraving: listed on wood and metal styles such as the Custom Rosewood Mantle Clock and the Putman desk clock.
- Digital full color: listed on styles such as the Custom Printed Cronus Clock and the Celestial Silver Gimbal Clock.
Shapes for the desk and the mantle
Mantle styles read formal and take more shelf space, and this page includes the Custom Branded Joplin Mantle Clock at 8 inches, the Richelieu Mantle Clock at 7.25 inches, and the Custom Gold Parkington Mantle Clock at 7.25 inches. Photo holder styles pair a dial with a frame, including the 4x6 Photo and Clock Glass Holder and the Aluminum Arch Desk Clock with Photo Holder. A few pieces break the usual outline, such as the Stroud Rotating Cube Award in optical crystal, the Pyramid Black Marble Clock, and the Customized Grand Prix World Time Clock at 4.88 inches wide by 3.75 inches high by 4.25 inches deep.
Matching the clock to the moment
Start with what the award has to say. A service anniversary usually needs a name, a number of years, and a date, so the Adams crystal desk clock with its 4 inch by 2 inch area gives you room to fit all three without shrinking the type. A sales award often carries only a logo and a year, which sits fine in the 1 inch by 0.25 inch plate on the Customized Grand Prix World Time Clock. A retirement gift tends to earn the larger wood or crystal pieces, and the Custom Rosewood Mantle Clock at 9 inches reads that way on a shelf.
Order quantities also differ by style, so check the price breaks on the clock you like before you settle on a headcount. Some listings start at a single piece and others start at six.
Send us your logo, your quantity, and the date you need them and we will price the clock you have in mind.
