Step outside the digital realm. The Clam Shell Alarm Clock evokes a time when travel was a little more glamorous and mobile phones were the stuff of science fiction. This pop-up portable clock has rounded corners and a spring-loaded hinge, which pops up with the push of a button. Echoing the lines and style of mid-century timekeepers, it has classic black, white and silver coloration. It’s crafted by the Howard Miller company. Howard C. Miller (son of Herman) founded Howard Miller in 1926, making clocks of “incomparable workmanship and unsurpassed quality.” The company still crafts timepieces with the same philosophy and dedication. Runs on one LR44 battery.
