Clock facing front door

[Yotomoki]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if it is bad luck placing a clock facing the front door?

Thanks.

1. Frankly, this has more to do with Chinese customs + symbolism.

2. Thus as the above implies, more related to the Chinese culture. 

3. Therefore, if one is a non-Chinese, often can overlook this area.

4. In our Chinese customs, it is bad luck for someone to give another Chinese a clock (such as a wall clock) as a gift! Here, it implies that one wants that other person dead, ASAP!

5. Coming back to your question: When we enter a house, a clock facing (us) when we open the main door.. symbolises hope for death.. towards the persons living, there.

Morning master.
Any idea where to hang the clock?

So Long as not face corridor facing bedrooms, facing main door.

Any location is fine or okay
