We’d wake up for this.
Okay, so perhaps waking up to an alarm clock will never top your list of favorite things to do in the morning. But waking up to this vintage-inspired, cube-shaped clock sure makes it a lot more pleasurable. We love how the modernist straight edges and graphic dial add a bit of flair to our nightstand game, and a battery-powered beep alarm keeps things simple.

Newgate Clocks
United Kingdom
Jim and Chloe Read’s British designed, vintage-inspired clocks are the product of their love for all things antique—the two first stumbled upon a batch of clock movements while sourcing and framing vintage prints and began creating quirky, bespoke clocks before starting the Newgate brand. Hundreds of iconic clock designs later, Newgate has become synonymous with the iconic British design we want to bring into our homes.

Attractive, noisy clock
Very nice looking clock, although it did arrive with some scratches on the front and side surfaces.
The clock does make an unfortunate continuous pulsating whirring sound. Fortunately, I bought this clock for my kitchen where the sound is not a problem, but I would have returned it if intended for the bedroom.
