How high should a wall clock be hung.
The height of your fixture should be in inches somewhere in this range.
This might be hard to see from the picture but the ceiling beam is bit off to the right.
Move the template up and down to find the perfect spot prior to hanging the picture.
Hang it higher than the tallest normal obstruction so say your armoire stands 5ft tall on a good day it s important to consider any large obstructions around the room when it comes to clock placement.
This will give you the option to stand back and see how the artwork s size relates to your room and your furniture.

If your seating down in a room art etc.
Say have the top of the clock in line with the top of the doorway.

How to hang the clock.
If you re in an office there may be several cubicle walls separating employees and cubicle walls are the natural enemy of clocks.
On the back of the clock there was a metal keyhole bracket.
If you re hanging artwork by yourself cut paper templates to size for each piece of art and attach the paper cutouts to the wall with painter s tape.
This ensures the clock stays in place even if vibration is an issue as is the case with chiming clocks and cuckoo clocks.
I would say slightly above eye level if it is a small clock larger clocks you can hang above head level even.
