Description
This round alarm clock pairs a shiny black plastic case with a crisp white dial, so the time reads clearly at a glance. Bold black numerals run all the way round the face, with a dotted minute track and the word SWEEP printed beneath the centre. The hands glide with a smooth sweep movement rather than a tick, so the clock runs silently through the night. It is a compact size, 10.3cm tall, 10.3cm wide and 5cm deep, small enough to sit comfortably on even a narrow bedside table.
A beep alarm and a snooze make it a dependable bedside clock for the working week: set the alarm, and when it sounds the snooze lets you take a little longer before getting up. With no ticking to listen to, it keeps a bedroom quiet as you drift off, and it works just as well in a guest room, on a desk or on a shelf in the study as a simple clock that is easy to read. Press the illuminated button and the dial lights up, so you can check the time in the dark without reaching for a lamp or a phone.
The case is plastic with a shiny finish, and the clock stands steadily on two small feet at the base, so it needs no wall or stand. On the back sit a switch to turn the alarm on and off, a knob for setting the alarm time, another for setting the hands, and the battery compartment. It runs on one AA battery, which is not included, so keep one ready to fit. To keep the case gleaming, wipe it and the front with a soft, dry cloth now and then. In black and white it sits easily with most bedroom schemes, and it makes a practical gift that will be used every morning.
