1. TFA Clocco
The CLOCCO radio alarm clock from TFA is a true minimalist. Its wooden-look design with an invisible display fits seamlessly into any living or bedroom style. When using the included power adapter, the digits are permanently illuminated and can be adjusted to three brightness levels. If you prefer to operate CLOCCO solely on batteries, the display remains invisible and can be briefly activated by sound or touch. The alarm ensures you wake up on time.
Choose between time, date, indoor temperature, or a rotating display. With the automatic dimming function, the lighting automatically switches to the lowest level between 7 PM and 6:59 AM. This way, your night’s rest remains undisturbed while the time is still readable. The radio clock receives the time via the DCF 77 signal, ensuring that the current time is always displayed to the exact second, eliminating the need to adjust for daylight saving time.

2. TFA Bell alarm clock
An alarm clock like in grandma's days. This nostalgic-looking clock wakes you up with a tried-and-true extra loud double bell made of metal. The bell alarm clock is particularly suitable for people who do not wake up to the sound of regular alarms. The clock features a backlight that can be activated with a light button.
Another highlight of the clock is its almost silent sweep movement, metal casing, and glass cover.
Quiet sweep movement, alarm with metal double bell, backlight, metal casing, glass cover, designed to be placed.
Technical specifications: Diameter 117 mm, height 159 mm, weight 265 g, battery 1 x 1.5 V AA not included, casing black/matt.
Quiet sweep movement: A sweep movement is nearly silent, as the second and minute hands move almost glidingly due to a finer gear ratio. Since there are minimal mechanical forces acting on the hands, the ticking noise is extremely minimized. It can only be heard when you place your ear close to the movement.

10. Lexon Flip Premium
Flip Premium Alarm Clock. Is the alarm really on? Any uncertainty vanishes with this clock from the hands of Jeremy & Adrian Wright for the brand Lexon. Because whether or not the clock sounds its alarm the next morning depends on which side you place the metal case: A tangibly perforated "On/Off" inscription on the top visible in each case leaves no room for doubt. The display rotates 180° as if by magic and also shows the alarm time in the corner when "On" is selected - it doesn't get any clearer than that, good night. And if you want to read the time at night, just snap your fingers - and a sensor for sounds causes the display light to come on. Lexon now supplies the Flip Premium alarm clock with an integrated battery that takes three hours to charge with the included USB-C cable, but promises three months of wireless use.
Pro
- Beautiful design
- Simple operation
- Small and handy
Contra
- Flip function does not always work (flip over & recognise position)
- Only one alarm tone
- No radio-controlled clock
