Description
This silent sweep alarm clock sets a round face in a gently arched white case, with a face that lights up so you can read the time once the room goes dark. The case is plastic with a gloss finish and stands 10.5cm tall, 10cm wide and 5cm deep, small enough to share a bedside table with a lamp, a book and a glass of water. Bold black numbers run all the way round a white dial, with a soft grey centre carrying the printed word Sweep, and a clear cover sits over the whole face.
The sweep movement carries the second hand smoothly round the dial rather than stepping from mark to mark, so there is no tick to keep a light sleeper awake. That makes it a natural fit for a main bedroom or a guest room, and it sits just as happily on a desk in a home office or a shelf in the hall. The light-up face is handy when you wake in the night and want the time without reaching for a phone. It belongs in dry rooms indoors. It also makes a practical gift for someone settling into a new home, a clock they will reach for every morning.
It runs on one AA battery, an everyday size that is easy to find when it needs changing. The plastic case has a gloss white finish that suits most bedroom schemes, from pale painted walls to darker wood furniture, and its compact footprint leaves room for everything else on the bedside. To keep it looking its best, dust the case and the clear cover with a soft dry cloth, or wipe them gently with a slightly damp cloth, keeping it away from water. Set it beside a lamp or a small plant for a tidy bedside, or pair it with a soft throw as a housewarming present.

It takes one AA battery. That is an everyday size, simple to find and quick to fit when the old one runs down.

No. It has a sweep movement, so the second hand moves smoothly round the dial instead of ticking, which suits light sleepers well.
