All in good time.
Waking up to the sound of an alarm may not be your favorite part of the day...but with this mid-century inspired clock, it’s about to get a lot more pleasant. This one’s got a silent-sweep design, so it’ll keep a low profile as you snooze away. And when it’s time to get going, it’ll ring in the morning with a digital beep. Add that minimalist dial and matte exterior, and you’ve got a piece you’ll love having at your bedside.

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.

Good design, wish it would glow in the dark.
Christmas gift for my husband so he'd get rid of the 30y/o digital eyesore. That worked, only complaint is that he can't see the time in the middle of the night. I told him to sleep in his apple watch like everyone else!
Clean sophisticated
This clock is the new addition to my office. It is clean and sophisticated, and a great addition to this room I am spending a lot of time in these days.
I wanted to love this clock
The photo shows a beautiful clock with minimalist design, which is what I was looking for but in person it feels like an Instagram model I met in real life that used an effective filter. I wanted to love this clock but I would rather pay more money for a quality clock that isn't plastic as an investment. Dear Clock, we tried but we have break up. For the record, I am thrilled with all my 52Food purchases so I know that for the most part they select quality products.
