Hi! I know you can get some metal clocks from new metal supplier (ex sublisupply).
I know that some clock mechanism you can hang on the wall as they got this hanging bit on te back. bu how about desktop clocks? metal is to thin to stand alone on te desk so how do you suport this? I have seen some clocks with plastic plate stands but this look pants

any other way to rest them on the desk??

Depends how they are supplied, but if they are long enough then you can bend the metal to create a self supporting stand.

You could make wooden base with a slot for the clock to stand in bevel the edges and stain the wood.

Coating won't crack when bent. We thought about metal offset clocks, but they would hang straight on the wall, so we just made the square metal clocks.
