A cheerful mid century Westclox Baby Ben alarm clock finished in vibrant yellow with a contrasting gilt-tone bezel and matching yellow dial.

This fully working example retains its original Arabic numeral chapter ring, alarm function and distinctive compact design that made the Baby Ben one of the most recognisable alarm clocks of the twentieth century.

Originally introduced by the Westclox company in the early twentieth century, the Baby Ben became a household favourite due to its reliability, portability and modern styling.

By the 1950s and 1960s, brightly coloured versions such as this reflected the optimistic design trends of the era, making them highly sought after by collectors of mid century homewares and vintage clocks today.

Its compact proportions make it ideal for display on a bedside table, desk, shelf or within a retro interior setting.

The warm yellow colourway and clean dial design capture the distinctive look of post-war modern design.
