Description
This digital alarm clock takes the shape of a little white house, with a pitched roof that overhangs the walls, a small chimney on top and a four-pane window detail on the side. On the front, the clear display shows the time in large digits, with the days of the week in a row beneath, then the month and date and the temperature in degrees Celsius. It stands 10cm tall, 9cm wide and 7.7cm deep, small enough to sit on a narrow bedside table beside a lamp or a glass of water.
We think it belongs on a bedside table, where the alarm and snooze do their daily work, though it is just as much at home on a desk in a study or a shelf in a bedroom or sitting room. Press the button marked light and snooze and the display lights up with a warm amber glow while the little window shines from within, so you can read the time in the dark and hold off the alarm with one press. The temperature reading is a handy extra, telling you how warm the room is before you leave the covers.
The setting buttons, marked time, alarm, up and down, sit on the back out of sight, so the front stays clean and uncluttered. The plain white finish suits pale woods, painted furniture and simple modern rooms alike, and the house shape adds a little warmth to a practical piece. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water and damp. Because it is so compact, it slips easily into a gift box, and it makes a cheerful present for anyone who likes everyday things with a bit of character.
