Alarm Clocks

Many find themselves using alarm clocks these days without even acknowledging where they derived from. Smartphones and laptops in today’s digital era take for granted the abilities of using alarms to wake us from sleep. Yet, they’ve come a long way from their strange yet fascinating origins.

The alarm clock can be traced all the way back to the days of Plato. The ancient Greek philosopher used a large water clock, prepared to play sounds similar to a water organ. Set at night, it would then presumably be ready to awaken him for his morning lectures.

Other notable alarm clocks had a variety of sounds during this time. Some included dropping pebbles on a gong, or even blowing makeshift trumpets through underwater bell-jars.

From water clocks in Roman times to the striking clocks in the towers of China and Western Europe in the 14th century, different alarm methods have always had a place in our history.

These many variations of the alarm clock demonstrate the lengths this contraption has gone through to establish our current model. And through those many trials and tribulations, alarm clocks have excelled and become a common necessity in modern times today.

Find Your Own Favorite Model, whether it be a Basic Bedside Alarm Clock or Vintage Wind-Up Alarm Clock

At ClockShops.com, we offer every alarm clock under the sun.

For instance, the Sternreiter Mechanical Wind-Up Alarm Clock gives you the best of both worlds; a modern alarm with mid-century charm. Its two ringing bells placed atop the clock face display the classic image of a bedside alarm clock. And its light ticking, rhythmic sound soothes you into a restful, deep sleep before waking for the new day at the ring of the bell.

Or go for the Lite Night Bedside Alarm Clock. This model has many great features for such a small size. Its oversize hour markers and numerals, lighted at night, make for easy viewing for young and old alike. The beeping alarm is simple yet effective. However, this bedside alarm clock also comes with a snooze button, to tempt you so greatly back into a blissful rest.

Looking for something digital or modern? We also have digital alarms ready to play your favorite tunes first thing in the morning. Take the Howard Miller Techtime I Radio-Controlled Clock, with its vibrant LCD display. Its large, easy-to-see numbers can be seen from across a great distance, while its volume can reach the level you need to rouse you. Loud alarm clocks can be hard to find, but this item ensures you’ll be raring to go, on time, every time.
