The Want: An alarm clock for the hardworking professional that is not only a functional appliance but also a beautiful addition to your bedroom decor (i.e., not a smart phone). Siri can be helpful on occasion, but your sunrise custodian needs to be reliable, wall-powered, and sturdy.
The Get: The Tivoli Audio Model 10 Clock Radio ($199.99; tivoliaudio.com) is night-table equipment at its finest. Handcrafted from furniture-grade wood and bursting with crisp, Bose-quality sound, it stands as a potent throwback to the days when well-made, monotask objects performed their functions flawlessly. Its craftsmanship and design evoke qualities every 9-5er should aspire to: strength, confidence, and competence.
