Description
This cushion alarm clock in silver plastic brings a soft, rounded square shape to the bedside table, with a clear analogue face that is easy to read at a glance. The white dial carries bold blue Arabic numerals and a fine dotted minute track, set within a warm silver surround that gives the face a gentle depth. It stands 7.5cm tall and 7.5cm wide, and is just 3.5cm deep, so it sits neatly beside a lamp, a glass of water and a book without crowding them.
It belongs in the bedroom first, whether that is your own nightstand or a guest room, and it works just as well on a desk or a kitchen shelf. The quartz movement drives a silent sweep second hand, so there is no ticking to keep a light sleeper awake. The crescendo alarm starts softly and builds, a gentler way to wake than a sudden blast. The hands are luminous and glow once the lights go out, and the light and snooze button along the top lights up the face when you need to check the time and gives you a little longer under the covers when the alarm sounds.
The case is plastic with a silver finish, and two turning knobs on the back set the time and the alarm. It runs on AA size batteries, also sold as LR6 or MN1500, which are not included, so have them ready when you set it up. Dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, and wipe the face with a barely damp cloth if it needs it. We think its clear numbers, quiet hands and gentle wake-up make it a practical, good-looking gift for anyone who would rather keep the phone out of reach at night.
