Diamantini and Domeniconi striped cuckooclock. This stunning striped clock will brighten up the dullest wall without you needing to touch a paintbrush or bust out the wallpaper. The latest design from trusted Italian clock- makers Diamantini and Domeniconi, it's handmade in resin with bold primary colours.
