Vintage Double Bell Metal Alarm Clock

This Alarm Clock from Velleora Home Decor is the twin-bell design that predates every snooze button: a metal case, a hammer between two bells and an alarm loud enough that ignoring it is not really an option. For heavy sleepers, that is the whole appeal.

Because it is entirely mechanical, it needs no power and no charging, and it keeps working through a power cut. It also means no glowing screen on the bedside table at night - a real advantage for anyone trying to keep a bedroom dark and free of devices.

Three finishes are offered. The case is metal rather than plastic, with a wind key and alarm set on the back and small feet that keep it stable on a hard surface. Wind the movement and the alarm separately, and expect a mechanical tick - this is a traditional clock, not a silent one. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp.
