To add a touch of class to your promotional product offerings consider going with glass promotional clocks as a way to distribute your brand in a fun and classy way amongst potential customers. Unlike traditional, or even novelty clocks, glass promotional clocks carry the built-in wow factor because they are constructed of such a delicate material. What your clients do not know however is that class is actually a very robust material; perfect for constructing a glass promotional clock. Glass is also wonderful in that it can be finished a number of different ways, adding different creative touches to the finished glass promotional clock.

Creating a glass promotional clock does not mean that the entire clock needs to be created out of class, rather just some or even all of its components. Most commonly you'll find glass frames being used on clocks. This is definitely the easiest piece to swap out with glass, but also the least awe-inspiring. Creating a bevel on the frame of your glass promotional clock is pretty much a no-brainer, however this design decision is a little bit cliché and should be left for the cheapest of glass promotional clocks. Instead you may want to consider an attractive rounded glass design. This is both chic and modern but also relatively easy to manufacture. It is also important to remember that the frame for your glass promotional clock does not necessarily need to be one-piece. Instead of a solid ring or square of glass framing your clock you may instead choose to go with a pieced together look of various glass shapes bonded together.

Using a glass faceplate on your glass promotional clocks would be an interesting decision, although care must be taken to make sure that it is still functional. That is to say make sure the numbers are able to be easily read on the glass faceplate, and if the mechanical workings are unattractive make sure that they do not show through a clear faceplate. To aid in readability and hide any ugly mechanics you may wish to use a frosted finish on your glass promotional clock face. This does not limit you to this simple spray on frosted finishes, but rather you may want to look into something a little more classy for your glass promotional clocks such as a brushed finish, or even a sandblasted finish both of which provide a frosted appearance, but in a much more classy and upscale way.

Lastly you may choose to go with glass hands on your glass promotional clock. The only way that this would be at all feasible is if the hands for your glass promotional clock are slightly chunky and you're using a clock motor with enough power to move very heavy hands. You will probably want to choose to either Frost or color the glass so that your glass promotional clock is still easily readable. Unfortunately because this style of hand would be too heavy for the normal cheap motor used in promotional clocks your glass promotional clock would be quite expensive perhaps even too expensive to be justified as promotional item.
