You can buy a mantel clock both ways. Stores may have limited stocks and choices. You will certainly find a huge variety of mantel clocks online. Stock level can also be an issue when purchasing online. It is depending on if you can wait for the product to be delivered.
It is safe to have a mantel clock on the mantel while having a wood fire going simultaneously. However, the same types of precautions should be followed as for all fires being in a controlled indoor environment. Do not allow flames to grow to such heights that they are uncontrollable as surrounding fixtures and furniture may catch on fire. Many fireplaces hold and insulate a fire fairly well and a mantel clock should be relatively safe to place on top of your mantel.
