Description
This silver alarm clock keeps time with a quiet quartz movement behind an analogue dial that lights up, all in a compact plastic case. The case is a rounded oblong with a metallic silver finish, and the white dial carries bold blue Arabic numerals that are easy to read at a glance. The hour and minute hands carry luminous markings, and a slim second hand sweeps smoothly round the face rather than ticking from mark to mark. It stands 7cm high, 9cm wide and 4.5cm deep, so it takes up very little room wherever you put it.
Its natural place is the bedside table, where its small footprint leaves room for a lamp, a book and a glass of water, and it sits just as happily on a desk or shelf in a study or guest room. The silent sweep movement means there is no ticking to keep you awake at night. When it is time to get up, the crescendo beep alarm starts softly and grows louder, so you wake gradually rather than with a jolt. The snooze gives you a little longer on slower mornings, and in the dark the lit dial lets you check the time without reaching for the main light.
The case is plastic, and a flat base keeps the clock standing steady on a bedside table or shelf. It runs on AA battery power, the size also sold as LR6 or MN1500, and no battery is included, so pick up the right size before you set it up. To care for it, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a lightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. The silver finish sits well beside grey, white or chrome bedroom pieces, and it makes a practical gift for anyone who would rather wake to a gentle, building alarm than a harsh buzz.
