Time will tell

Is your refrigerator a mess of magnets, papers, and sticky notes? More a chaotic display than a clever reminder system?

Make your communication system a little more fun, a lot more functional, and loads more chic with this multi-purpose clock/message board. Created by the Swiss and English partners of London-based design firm black + blum, it combines hard-working functionality with modern, Euro-chic charm. You can leave poetic chalk note reminders on its inky-black face—or post myriad papers to its sturdy magnetic steel surface. And, thanks to the electric quartz clock mechanism, you’ll be on time for all your important appointments.

black + blum has thoughtfully included chalk and magnets, so you’re ready to go right out of the box. (Some assembly required to install the clock.) At 25.5 inches square, this generously sized board is a perfect addition to your home office, family room, or child’s room.
