The hunt for a well designed alarm clock has ended.

The "JetLag" alarm clock seen below, designed by Industrial Facility, is the clear winner of the 3 alarms pictured, esp. since the Braun and the Thomas Bai both tick-tick-tick (I own them both and had to them move out of the bedroom because of the ticking).  The JetLag is a wonderfully simple, user-friendly alarm clock with an innovative dual screen for super quick, easy setting/display of the alarm; it has everything I need and nothing I don't; check out an Interface Explanation PDF

It wasn't easy to find the perfect alarm clock, especially when I was trying to meet all these requirements:

  • silent - no ticking whatsoever & no unnecessary beeping (only beeps for alarm, that's it)
  • only the most essential features (no day/date/year etc. - not really needed at 6:30 AM)
  • backlight
  • quick to set & clear indicator showing alarm on/off
  • snooze of course
Appreciation:
White JetLag Clock: design by Industrial Facility | Country: United Kingdom
AB1 Clock by Braun: original design by Dieter Rams | Country: Germany
Bai Pickmeup Clock: design by Thomas Bai | Country: United States

Consumption:

Bai Pickmeup
alarm clock (face lights and alarm snoozes when it is lifted off table)
