A perfect addition to any bedroom or library, these vintage Up-Cycled Book Clocks transform discarded novels into dainty recycled wall clocks. A great way to reuse unwanted books, these recycled wall clocks combine classic literature novels with modern timepieces.
These book clocks are made from discarded books from thrift shops, libraries and garage sales. The collected books are then fused together with a clock battery and set of watch hands to turn the stylistic novel into a fully functional clock. The old leather and material design of the vintage bound books add a nostalgic literary feel to these book clocks that can either be mounted on a wall or opened to stand on its own. Book lovers who dread giving up their favorite novels will feel as though they saved the life of an unwanted book when they purchase one of these recycled book clocks.
