Silent Alarm Clock with Night Light

A small bedside alarm clock built around a silent movement, so the hands sweep instead of ticking and the room stays quiet. That single decision is what separates a clock you can sleep beside from one you end up shutting in a drawer. The face is plain, the numerals are large and the hands are weighted, which makes the time readable at a glance without a backlight burning all night.

A soft night light sits behind the dial and can be switched on when you need it, bright enough to find a glass of water by and dim enough not to wake anyone. There is a snooze button on the crown. The case measures 9.5cm across and 8.5cm high, small enough for a crowded nightstand, and comes in blue, yellow or green - three flat, slightly retro colours rather than the usual black or white.

Battery powered, with the battery compartment on the back; a battery is not supplied. Keep it away from radiators and out of direct sunlight, both of which can affect timekeeping, and keep it out of a bathroom. Wipe the case with a dry cloth. This is an alarm clock and nothing more - no sleep, wellbeing or health function of any kind is claimed for it, including for the night light.
