Vintage Alarm Clock

It's time to wake up, last century! In an age before cell phones and digital alarms there once was an amazing device called an alarm clock, with two bells mounted on top that were struck by a swinging hammer. You would wind the clock with a ratchet wrench, set the alarm hand for the time you wanted to wake up, and when the hour hand of the clock reached the alarm hand, those bells would ring for all they were worth, until you turned it off or threw it against the wall! Can you believe such an amazing, simple yet ingenious mechanism ever existed?

The Vintage Alarm Clock from Ugears is a charming throwback, a decorative reminder of the mechanical alarm clock that sits on your parents' or grandparents' nightstand. When you move the large gear on the side, the Alarm Clock's arrow hands turn and the bells tinkle, giving the wooden clock model its distinctive "ticking" alarm sound. Although this decorative wooden clock model doesn't actually keep time, the clock's hands are oriented in such a way that a full rotation of the minute hand advances the hour hand one position. The clock face features design elements including the sun, plants, hedgehogs, and a progressive sundial, and sits atop columns that give the entire model an attractive architectural structure.

The Vintage Alarm Clock is a complement to the Steampunk Clock in the Ugears catalog. Both feature a perforated style of decorative carvings and gears, which mixes the steampunk style with a slight hint of Venetian charm. Both models are classified as "Easy", and both offer a great decorative advantage and will perfectly match on your shelf or table.

This wooden alarm clock model is not only an attractive display piece, but includes dynamic movement and sound elements, including the carefully timed minute and hour hands and the surprising inclusion of a chiming alarm.
