Okay, so it's more expensive than what you'd expect for a simple alarm clock, but then again, it's simplicty is deceiving. It does everything you'd want it to do exactly the way you'd want it to do it. And the wakeup chime: The way it begins with a soft tone, then gets louder, then softer, then louder still. It's very pleasent. I have yet to hear my wife yell at me to turn that f'ckg thing off, like she did with my old alarm clock. And the clock, with it's metal housing, has a satisfying heft to it. It feels like something made back when quality was important, yet it has some subtle modern touches like a digital readout to set the clock, with an analog face to note the time. After experiencing this clock, I bought a second one to give to my daugher.

this is the best damn clock I’ve ever owned in 60 years of being on planet Earth. It is unbelievably solidly built and even the way in which it wakes you up from a slow baritone sound over and over which increasingly yield more and more traction for waking up is incredible. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and I am so happy I bought it.

Like many of you, I was looking for a functional yet attractive analog clock that I could use to minimize using a cell phone in my bedroom. The Arc Alarm Clock fit the bill - and then some! Not only is it incredibly stylish and impeccably designed, but it also offers a gentle-yet-persistent alarm that makes waking up on time so much less jarring than any other alarm I use. Plus, the whole device is so easy to use. Yes, it’s expensive, but in this case, you’re paying for exceptional quality - you can see where the money goes immediately. The Arc Alarm Clock has transformed my bedroom: I can’t imagine the space without it!
