XL Alarm Clock – Readable from the other side of the room

An alarm clock with a dial 23.5 cm across, built in metal with a retro shape. The numerals are large enough to read without glasses, including from bed. It runs on one AA battery, so no cord has to reach the nightstand.

Why choose an oversized alarm clock?

Most alarm clocks are small enough that you have to pick them up to see the time. This one reads from the doorway. The size also makes it an object in its own right on a cabinet or a mantelpiece.

• 23.5 cm dial: readable at a glance from anywhere in the room.
• Retro shape: the classic outline with twin bells on top.
• Metal housing: holds its shape and feels heavier than plastic.
• One AA battery: no cord, so you put it wherever you want it.
• Three finishes: chrome, blue and black.

A clock you never have to hunt for on the nightstand.

Set it on a flat surface; the size and weight ask for a stable base. Swap the battery as soon as the hands start to stutter and the time stays accurate. Wipe the dial with a dry cloth and keep abrasives off the metal.
