It's hard to find a bargain today, but I found some luck. Here I present 10 great retro modern wall clocks each under $300. These clocks are the creation of a metal artist in the U.S. Steve Cambronne is a full time artist that has been traveling and selling art for the last twenty years. Inspired by mid century modern craftsmen and the trends towards retro design, Steve began working with metal in the forms of clocks and sculpture several years ago.
