Time is a round circle.
Sometimes a clock isn’t just a timepiece; sometimes it’s a statement piece. This tabletop clock has a distinctly retro-modern vibe, whether you prefer a blue-grey pedestal with a creamy white face or the all-black version with gold hands. The silicone finish plays against the strong lines of the dial, giving the whole clock a softer feel—just right for a nightstand. And since this clock has an alarm, that’s exactly where you’ll want to put it.

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.

Pretty, but poor quality
A few months ago I wrote, "I've been using this clock for nearly a year now, and it's still doing its job. I almost left it behind when I moved last month, though, because I'm not sure it'll last much longer -- it's a quite lightweight plastic, has a pretty loud mechanism, and feels pretty flimsy. I won't buy from Newgate Clocks again, much as I like their designs, and am disappointed to have spent as much as I did on this clock." Now, about 13 months from purchase, the clock seems to be on its last legs. The alarm beeping is very, very quiet and once I do notice it, I have to shake and tap and wheedle the clock to turn it off -- the switch no longer functions.
A great gift for someone!
I found this for someone and I knew it was the perfect gift - it's streamlined, tells time, you can set the alarm, it looks great, and I looked like the best person ever!! Way to go!
Great clock!
When I first saw these clocks I couldn't make up my mind because I liked the Black face and the white face. Sooooo I ordered both! Loved both..... so I kept both! White face for my bedroom and the Black face on my four season porch. I'm very happy!
