Is there such a thing as a perfect alarm clock? We have a made a list of some that can can be qualified as such. These smart designs help you start off the day with a purpose, improve the vibe of your bedroom and prevent you from looking at your phone first thing in the morning.

Today, many of us generally use smartphones to set alarms, unaware that they are messing with our sleep with its bright light and radiation. Those who use a smart watch rely on the device keeping it on a bedside during the night. This, however, means the user has to lift it up and hold it close to their face to read the time, when they wake up. This is where the NightWatch comes in handy.

Designed to turn an Apple Watch into a clock, this Apple Watch dock comes with a massive curved lens to magnify its screen, enhancing its visibility manifold. The most interesting feature of the accessory is a patented system that lets the user tap the surface of the calibrated glass to wake the watch display enabling them to read the time clearly.

Besides, when the watch’s alarm begins ringing, special acoustic channels in the dock’s base help amplify the watch’s audio too making the alarm more audible.

NightWatch’s heavy base and beautiful design is created from a single-piece, solid lucite that’s hand polished to a mirror finish. The accessory does not include its own charger, but only lets the user attach the watch’s charger to it.

What might seem a drawback of the NightWatch is that it does not have a snooze button. Neither does the Fortune Clock by South Korean designer Ho Hyun LIM. Instead, it offers a wakeup activity which tells fortune based on how you get up in the morning.

The clock is designed to be filled with balls. When you wake up and turn off the alarm by pressing the button on top, a ball with a number is released.

While the idea of the clock is to get the user into the habit of making an effort to get up to stop the alarm, the designer believes that it also turns these efforts into “beads of fortune, shaping our destiny.” For example, he proposes combining the numbers obtained to purchase lottery tickets, thus seizing your luck.

With the Barisieur alarm clock by Joshua Renouf of Joy Resolve you wouldn’t want a snooze button at all. Instead of an annoying balring beep or loud music, it wakes you with a seductive aroma of a freshly brewed coffee or tea. A fresh cup of your favourite beverage is here waiting on a bedside table every morning when you wake up.

It has been scientifically proven that the best way to wake up is by stimulating all 5 senses, and The Barisieur does this with style. Barisieur boasts a carefully calibrated retro design, reminiscent of a chemistry set.

The Barisieur features the world’s smallest mini-fridge to keep your milk fresh over-night. You can also have The Barisieur™ wake you up 5 minutes before the alarm by activating the ‘brew delay’ button on the side.
