By now we’ve seen an almost endless array of alarm clocks that take a new fangled approach on the tried and tested classic ringing bell version.  My favorite still has to be the Blowfly that went from concept to actual product thanks to gadget blogs like this.

Much like the Earthquake Alarm Clock from two years ago, the Shake N Wake Alarm clock vibrates to awaken you from your slumber at a preset time.  It also includes an audible alarm and a wrist strip. …Continue reading: Shake N Wake Alarm Clock Is Not For Pot Heads Or Heavy Sleepers

What’s portable, cute and loves to listen to your every command?  If you said Moshi’s Voice Control Travel Alarm Clock, then you’re spot on.

I have yet to try out any of Moshi’s voice activated alarm clocks, but according to their press release with the push of button you can activate up to 9 settings simply by speaking a command(no programming required), which includes setting the time, alarm, snooze, and asking for the temperature.

The palm sized Moshi Travel Alarm Clock is available in pink, blue, white, and black at their website and will be available at select Bed Bath & Beyond stores come mid to late November. Price: $25.

Why in the shape of a light bulb I don’t know, but from the design studios of Quirky I bring you the Watt Time alarm clock.  And yes, that is a horribly bad play on words, something I greatly appreciate in light (get it?) of the all too common bedside alarm clock.  The light bulb shaped alarm clock is crafted of high-gloss, hard plastic, which not only allows the the digital time display to shine through, but prevents you from smashing it to flesh tearing glass shards when you hammer down on the would be socket to activate the snooze – although that would be a killer wake up call.   And much like the Philips alarm clock we recently saw, you can wake to a gradually increasing glow of light.

You can pre-order the Watt Time alarm clock for $24.99 and hope it reaches it pre-sale goal, otherwise it will never see the light of day (yes, another one).

Growing up I had a clock that featured an orb of light (i.e. lamp) that as my alarm time approached it would get gradually brighter.  The theory was that your brain would sense the change in light and the whole waking up process would be more natural and less painful.  Philips HF3490 Wake-up Light alarm clock does the exact same thing, but features a detachable iPod dock and an optional FM radio with 4 nature sounds.  Unlike my childhood version, though, this one can also gradually dim to help you drift off to sleep.

You can pre-order the Philips HF3490 Wake-up Light alarm clock from Amazon for $200.

Bang & Olufsen have long been known for their unconventional approach to product design, but no other product in the company’s history has been as unusual as the BeoTime.  Taking the shape of a flute, it features 3 monochrome displays that can be controlled by a square directional pad.  Function wise the BeoTime can be programmed to turn on and off your lights, TV and sound system at set times and also serve as a sleep timer for those that like to lull themselves to sleep with the sound of TV or radio.  Alternatively, the BeoTime also features a built-in chime to wake you up in the morning and a motion sensor that will not only activate its display when moved, but orientate the displays according to how it’s held.

Have you ever tried to fall asleep on a hot summers night while a mosquito buzzes above your head?  Yeah, it’s impossible.  So what better way to get your ass out of a slumber than with the Mosquito Alarm clock.  Combine this with the Blowfly alarm clock we saw a few years ago and you’ve got yourself a hands down winner.  The Animal Sound Alarm Clocks are also available in Cow and Rooster and cost $25.95 each.
