That's a harder question to answer than I thought. On the one hand, some of it was. My sister gave us the clock as a wedding gift, so it has sentimental value to me - it came from someone close to me (as opposed to, say, someone from H's family picking it out and thinking of us when getting it). It was something I valued. But a lot of my anger that came out (whereas I could have found a calmer way to discuss my feelings about it and why it was important) was about the fact that H KNOWS it is important to me and yet wanted to keep it for himself. Not even as a sentimental thing, but just to have something to go on the wall. And that he thinks it will be fine to just buy me a different one (which really wouldn't be a solution for me because he said that about the bedroom furniture, then procrastinated and procrastinated until it was too late to do it - I don't believe he'll follow through on it.) So, some of it was about the clock I would say, but a lot of it was the whole spirit of all this and everything behind it - my anger that he's not seeing negative consequences of his actions.
