Retro alarm clock?

[greatcanuk]

I'm looking for an alarm clock for DD's playroom, but I want something retro looking (we have the pink retro kitchen). I've seen a pink retro wall clock at Target that would look right, but I don't have the wall space for it (the room is dominated by the large Expedit). An alarm clock would be more functional anyway.

I've seen this at LL Bean, but at $40 it is way too expensive:

I could also go with an old fashioned wind-up style alarm clock with two round bells on top, but I actually haven't found one with a clock face that goes with the right look.

Thanks,

Try ebay. I wanted a classic wall clock in red for Littleman's room, and easily found what I was looking for- final bid price 99 cents! (Plus shipping, of course).

I searched for "clock pink retro" and "clock pink alarm" and came up with lots of possibilities.

I just went through this with my DD's room. We actually have the LLBean clock in her playrooom. I bought it for her room, but there was no electrical outlet where I wanted it to go.

Finally, I decided on the Pink Clock from Pottery Barn Kids

The 1949 Big Ben Alarm Clock from LLBean was my next choice, but the blue wasn't the right color and the others didn't match.

Best of luck

I've always thought this was a very cool retro clock that looked straight out of the fifties:

I saw these in person at Land of Nod and they are adorable. But they don't have a pink one. . .
