Description
This round metal alarm clock pairs a matt black case with a crisp white dial, and sits on a slim gold wire stand that holds it above the surface beneath. Its dial carries large, clear numbers from one to twelve with a dot marking each hour, and fine gold hands turn beneath a domed clear cover, so the time reads at a glance. The clock stands 14cm high and 14cm wide and is 8.5cm deep, a compact size that fits a bedside table without crowding a book or a glass of water. The ball-like case and open, angular stand give it a modern look with a gentle nod to retro design.
We think it suits a bedroom best, where the alarm wakes you and a button on the back lights it up so you can check the time in the dark without switching on a lamp. It works just as well on a desk in a home office or study, on a shelf in a hallway, or on a mantelpiece, where the black and gold palette sits comfortably with wood, brass and painted finishes. Because it stands on its own wire frame, there is no wall to drill and no hook to find. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who still likes a proper clock beside the bed.
The case is metal with a smooth matt finish, and the back keeps everything practical: two knobs for setting the time and the alarm, an on and off switch for the alarm, the light button and a covered battery compartment. It runs on batteries, so there is no cable to trail across the bedside. To keep it looking its best, dust the case and stand with a soft dry cloth and give the dial cover a gentle wipe. Set it at the bedside or wrap it as a gift, and it will earn its keep every morning.
