Luminous Wooden Wall Clock, Silent Non-Ticking Nordic Clock with Glow-in-the-Dark Night Light, Classic or Bold Numerals
Numerals that glow after dark, on a clock that never ticks
Details
This luminous wooden wall clock has glow-in-the-dark numerals that charge from daylight, so you can read the time at night without a lit display. There is no bulb and nothing to plug in. The movement is silent quartz, non-ticking, and the glow fades over a few hours after lights out; it is not a backlight that runs all night. Walnut finish, with classic or bold numerals.
A bedroom clock first: hang it in sight of the pillow and you read the time at night from a soft glow instead of a phone screen or a bright digital readout, without waking anyone else. It also suits a child's room or a hallway that gets dark early. The glow depends on daylight reaching the numerals, so give it a wall with some light during the day. Pick the classic dial for a softer look, or the bold dial, with a large 12, 3, 6 and 9, if you want to read it from across the room.
The body and dial are wood veneer over fibreboard in a walnut finish, with the grain a plastic clock lacks. The silent quartz movement runs on a single AA battery (not included). A dry cloth is all the face needs; keep sprays and damp cloths off the wood. Keep it out of bathrooms and steamy rooms, and change the battery when the hands start to lose time.

Why it earns its place
Glow-in-the-dark numerals
They charge from daylight in the room and glow for a few hours after lights out, enough to read the time without a lit screen.
Silent, non-ticking
The quartz movement makes no sound, which is the whole point of a bedroom clock.
Classic or bold numerals
The same walnut-finish body with two dials: rounded classic numerals, or bold numerals with a large 12, 3, 6 and 9 that read from across the room.
In your home
This is a bedroom clock. Hang it where you can see it from the pillow and you get the time at night from a soft glow instead of a phone screen or a bright digital display, and nobody else in the room is woken by it.
It also suits a child's room or a hallway that goes dark early. The walnut finish sits naturally with oak, rattan and white bedding; choose the bold numerals if you want to read it from the far side of the room.
Materials and quality
The body and dial are wood veneer over fibreboard in a walnut finish, so it has real grain rather than the flat look of a plastic clock. The numerals carry a luminous coating that charges from ordinary daylight; there is no bulb and nothing to plug in. The movement is silent quartz on a single AA battery (not included). Be clear on one thing: the glow fades over a few hours. It is not a backlight that runs all night.
Care and everyday use
Wipe the face with a dry cloth and skip sprays and damp cleaning on the wood. The glow depends on daylight reaching the numerals, so a clock in a dim corner will glow weakly; give it a wall with some light through the day. Change the AA battery when the hands start to lose time, and keep it out of bathrooms and other steamy rooms.
Good to know
Will it glow all night?
The numerals charge in daylight and glow for a few hours after dark, then fade gently, so the time is readable as the room goes dark.
Does it need mains power?
No. It runs on one AA battery (not included), and the glow comes from daylight, so there is no cable and nothing to plug in.
What is the difference between the two?
Only the dial. Both have the same walnut finish; the classic dial has rounded numerals, the bold dial has a large 12, 3, 6 and 9 that are easier to read from across the room.
