1. TFA Clocco
The Clocco radio-controlled alarm clock from TFA is a true purist. The minimalist design in a wooden look with an invisible display fits into living rooms and bedrooms of any style. If you use the mains adapter supplied, the digits are permanently illuminated and can be set to one of three brightness levels. If you want to operate Clocco with batteries only, the display remains invisible and is briefly activated by a sound or touch. The alarm clock ensures you get up in good time.
Choose between time, date, indoor temperature or a changing display. With the automatic dimming function, the lighting automatically switches to the lowest level between 19:00 and 6:59. This means you can sleep undisturbed and still read the time. The radio-controlled alarm clock receives the time via the DCF 77 signal. This means that the current time is always displayed to the second and there is no need to switch from summer to winter time.
Pro
- Relatively neutral, unobtrusive design
- Small but nice, has everything you need.
- Battery supplied to remember settings when power is lost
Contra
- Brightness adjustable in 3 levels, but even the lowest level is clearly too bright
- Unfortunately no snooze function
- only 1 alarm tone

2. TFA Bell alarm clock
An alarm clock like in grandma's days. This nostalgic-looking clock wakes you up with a tried-and-true extra loud double bell made of metal. The bell alarm clock is particularly suitable for people who do not wake up to the sound of regular alarms. The clock features a backlight that can be activated with a light button.
Another highlight of the clock is its almost silent sweep movement, metal casing, and glass cover.
Quiet sweep movement, alarm with metal double bell, backlight, metal casing, glass cover, designed to be placed.
Technical specifications: Diameter 117 mm, height 159 mm, weight 265 g, battery 1 x 1.5 V AA not included, casing black/matt.
Quiet sweep movement: A sweep movement is nearly silent, as the second and minute hands move almost glidingly due to a finer gear ratio. Since there are minimal mechanical forces acting on the hands, the ticking noise is extremely minimized. It can only be heard when you place your ear close to the movement.
