A proper little alarm clock that earns its spot on the bedside table. The Midnight mini alarm has a clean dial with clear numerals, and the kind of bold retro-meets-modern silhouette that looks deliberate rather than accidental. Designed in Britain. Available in a range of colours so it actually suits your room. The alarm is loud enough to mean business. A simple adjustment on the back sets your wake time, and a dedicated switch turns it off. No app. No Bluetooth. No nonsense. Just a reliable alarm that does its job and lets you do yours. The Midnight mini alarm clock uses a sweep movement. It is silent and smooth, with none of the tick-tick-tick of a traditional step movement. It is whisper quiet by clock standards, though in a very silent room at night you may be aware of a faint mechanical presence, which is simply the nature of any quartz movement. For the vast majority of bedside tables, it is absolutely fine, and there is a calm, considered quality to the way it keeps time that suits its character well. Runs on a single AA battery, not included. One genuinely important tip from us, always use a fresh, quality alkaline battery from a reputable brand. Recycled batteries from the TV remote, cheap multi-packs, or anything that has been rattling around a drawer for three years are the single most common reason a quartz clock runs slow or stops. A good battery makes a real difference. The Midnight mini alarm clock is exactly that, mini. Sitting on a compact base that fits neatly on a bedside table, a shelf, a desk, or a window ledge, it will not dominate a small space. If you are looking for a statement piece for a large mantelpiece, you want our bigger siblings. If you want something that quietly does its job in a modest space, this is the one.
