Rounded Square Metal Alarm Clock - Black & Cream

This rounded square alarm clock pairs a black metal case with a cream dial, giving a small bedside companion that is simple to read at a glance. The case is softly rounded at every corner, with a slim raised rim framing the face, and the dial carries bold black Arabic numerals from 1 to 12 with fine minute markers running around the edge. Slender black hands sweep over the light face, so the time stands out clearly whether you look across from the pillow or down from a desk. It measures 7.2cm high, 7.2cm wide and 4cm deep, a compact size that sits comfortably on even the narrowest bedside table.

We think it suits a bedroom, set on a bedside table, chest of drawers or windowsill where you want an alarm without the glow of a phone screen. It works just as well on a desk, a dressing table or a shelf in a study or spare room, and the black and cream colouring sits easily with most schemes, from crisp modern rooms to warmer, more traditional ones. At only 4cm deep it fits in front of a row of books or beside a lamp without crowding either.

The case is metal with a smooth black finish, and the clock stands freely on its flat base, so it needs no wall and no fixings. On the back you will find an on and off switch for the alarm, along with two setting wheels for the alarm and the time. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe the case with a cloth that is barely damp and dry it straight away, keeping moisture away from the dial. Set it beside a bedside lamp and a favourite book for a calm, uncluttered corner, or wrap it as a practical gift for anyone who likes a proper clock by the bed.
