In the room
What the Room Gets.
A silent movement matters more in a guest room than anywhere else. The tilt-activated night light answers the same question the alarm does: what does a guest need at three in the morning, and how little do they have to do to get it?

A Silent Sweep
A 100 percent silent sweep movement, so there is no tick.

A Night Light on Tilt
The night light comes on when the clock is picked up or slightly tilted.

Eighteen Months on One Battery
One AA battery lasts around 18 months. Two-year warranty.

Bespoke Above 300 Pieces
The body, dial face and hands can be specified, in steel or aluminium with a range of plating finishes.
