Bee Alarm Mantel Clock with Snooze and Metal Case - Grey

This round mantel clock pairs a soft grey metal case with a crisp white dial. At its centre sits a beautifully detailed bumblebee, its striped body in black and amber and its wings a pale, pink-tinged white. Slim baton markers stand in for numbers, so the illustration has room to breathe, and silver-coloured hands sweep neatly over it. A ring handle crowns the top and two short angled feet hold it steady. It stands 16.5cm tall, 11cm wide and 5.5cm deep. That is small enough for a bedside table yet clear enough to read across a room.

Because it is an alarm clock as well as a mantel clock, it earns its place by the bed. The beep alarm wakes you, and the snooze buys a little longer on slow mornings. Through the day it sits just as happily on a mantelpiece, a kitchen shelf or a desk, where the bee brings a quiet country garden feel to a modern room. The grey case is gentle enough to sit with whites, sages and natural wood, and the single bee keeps the look calm rather than busy.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps steady time for the analogue hands. It runs on one AA battery (MN1500), which is not included, so keep one to hand. The back is a neat black panel holding the battery compartment and the setting knobs, all tucked out of sight once the clock faces the room. Care is simple: dust the case and dial front with a soft dry cloth, and wipe away marks with a barely damp cloth, keeping moisture away from the movement. Set it beside a lamp and a small vase of flowers on a bedside table, or wrap it up as a cheerful gift.
