Asprey's Clic Clac Travel Alarm

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches



What does your travel alarm clock look like? Do you even have one? I've gotten into the habit of using my cell phone's alarm but I'd feel so much classier if I had a little beauty like one of these Clic Clac travel clocks from Asprey to sit on my hotel nightstand instead. Available in a rainbow of colors and your choice of alligator, lizard, calf, or steel finishes I think they're even stylish enough to leave out year round, in a guest room or something. $775

Numbers Clock

Filed under: Decor, Timepieces / Watches


I'm generally pretty old-fashioned in my tastes, but one exception is my alarm clock -- the funkier and more modern the better! And this is a fun looking clock, with cubes representing each number that can be arranged however you want. Designed by Jonas Damon, the Numbers Clock is a clock stripped down to its simplest form of just the numbers and an alarm function. Just be careful not to get too creative and stack the numbers up in a way that you'll be confused how to read it in the middle of the night!

Available with white numbers or red, $80.

The Ventriloque Alarm Clock has a charming, retro look, but still has a digital readout, lights and a snooze function. It allows you to record your own message as the wake-up sound, rather than relying on the standard set of buzzes and beeps that are so prevalent for alarms.The possibilities are endless, from a gentle reminder to a scream, depending on how much "motivation" you need to get out of bed. It is made in France, but includes instructions in English. Price: $95.

TimeZone has a picture of the newest music box from Reuge. The Francastel is mechanical singing bird alarm clock which has a  movement that consists of 250 mechanical parts assembled by hand.
