Description
This black alarm clock pairs a clear round face with an arched case and a silent sweep movement, so the second hand glides round the dial rather than ticking through the night. The case is plastic in glossy black with a metallic effect finish, framing a white dial with a soft grey centre and bold Arabic numerals that are easy to read. Black hour and minute hands and a slim silver second hand sit beneath a clear front cover, and the word SWEEP is printed at the centre. It stands 10.5cm tall, 10cm wide and 5cm deep, a compact size that sits happily on the smallest bedside table.
A bedside table is its natural home, where the light-up dial lets you read the time in the dark without reaching for a lamp, and a blinking light is built in as well. The silent sweep movement suits a bedroom or guest room where a ticking clock would keep someone awake, and the compact case works just as well on a home office desk or a shelf in any dry room indoors. The clean black and white look sits comfortably beside most bedroom furniture, and it makes a practical housewarming gift for someone setting up a home of their own.
The clock runs on one AA battery, a common size that is simple to find and easy to change. Its flat base lets it stand steadily on its own, so there is nothing to hang or fix to a wall. To keep it looking its best, dust the plastic case with a soft dry cloth and give the clear front cover a gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth, keeping moisture away from the inside. Set it by the bed and it tells the time at a glance; wrapped with a card, it is a thoughtful welcome for a first flat or house.
