2. Pocket Watch
This is my favorite from this list of large wall clock projects. This beautifully whimsical clock was made using a standard wall clock covered with pretty gold leaf. If you don't want to go through the leafing process, spraying the clock frame and plastic chain with gold paint will work, too.
