Reverse Wall Clocks

How a Reverse Clock Works

A reverse clock is designed to move counter-clockwise, in the opposite direction of a traditional clock. The numbers are arranged in reverse order so the time can still be read naturally once you understand the layout.

Although it looks unusual at first, the clock keeps accurate standard time. The only difference is the direction in which the hands move.

• The hands rotate smoothly to the left

• The numbers appear reversed around the dial

• Time is read by following the hand in the opposite direction

A Clock for Wonderland Time

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, this reverse clock follows the idea that time doesn’t always behave the way we expect.

Just like in Wonderland, everything runs a little differently here.

The hands move counter-clockwise, and the numbers are arranged in reverse order. Although it looks curious at first, the clock keeps perfectly accurate time — it simply flows in the opposite direction.

How It Works

• The clock runs backwards, with the hands moving to the left

• Numbers are reversed so the time can still be read

• Once your eye adjusts, telling the time becomes part of the fun

It invites you to pause, look again, and rethink what you know — just as Alice does when she steps through the looking glass.

Why Choose a Wonderland Clock?

This clock is perfect for:

• Lovers of literature and storytelling

• Creative spaces, studios, and reading corners

• Homes that celebrate imagination and curiosity

• Anyone who believes time doesn’t always need to be taken too seriously

A gentle reminder that in some worlds, the best way forward is backward.
The clock works just like a normal wall clock — it simply asks you to look at time from a different perspective.
