If your current morning routine involves getting traumatised by your smartphone’s default alarm before immediately scrolling through existential dread, the Arc Alarm Clock ($299) is your ticket to sanity. Designed to banish phones from the bedside, this sleek piece of nightstand hardware blends a classic analogue face with a real acoustic mechanical chime. Instead of a heart-stopping blare, it gently wakes you with a resonant tone that gradually intensifies. Housed in a cast zinc chassis with a hidden digital display for easy setting, it proves that waking up doesn’t have to feel like a tactical emergency.
