Lookin’ spiffy, daddy-o.
Mad Men may be over, but mid-century chic is here to stay. This Don Draper-worthy alarm clock captures that classic style—a dash of retro to make you feel cool even in groggy, just-hit-the-alarm mode. (silk pajamas optional). Available in both off-white and wood veneer, it fits your home decor effortlessly: this is no period piece.

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.

Beautiful, but.....
It is beautifully designed but, strangely, there is no lighted clock face or flourescent clock hands. So in the dark you can't' tell what time it is. This is a pretty basic function that it lacks.
Shoud be under 10$
Great design, perfect for my apartment, but horrible, poorly made, cheap material. Very different than all other items of significant quality Food52 is known for. Do not buy. (And Food52 won't process a return).
