5 Alarm Clocks to Get You Up and Running

Do you remember Clocky - the alarm clock that runs around the room? Well, now there's Tocky, described as "Clocky's tech-savvy brother." Here's the full description: "Just like Clocky, Tocky will jump from your nightstand and roll away to get you out of bed. He'll also record personal wake-up messages, and play your favorite MP3s as they roll around your room." [via Best Stuff]




Here's another novelty: the Farmland Alarm Clock, which moos, baas and clucks at you. To shut it off, you place the correct animal - the one matching the sound - in the slot in the top. But "if fumbling about for plastic cluckers at stupid o’clock doesn’t appeal, you can always switch from Selective to Random mode. That way you can deactivate the alarm using any animal you fancy."

Want something a bit less novel? Here's the retro-style Bake-a-Like alarm clock, available in six different colors. [via Retro To Go]




But if you want real vintage clocks, go look at those sold by Clockwork Universe - such as this Soviet Russian alarm clock, which is in "good working condition. The movement has been cleaned, conditioned and regulated by a master watchmaker." Clockwork Universe is based in Riga, Latvia - but sells through Etsy, making it easy for us to buy from the company.

And finally, here's the Station alarm clock - one of the many alarm clocks from Karlsson - sold by Utility and by Digs, among others. [via Retro To Go]
