A Little Gem from the Past
While rummaging through my grandfather’s treasures, I came across this fascinating object: a travel alarm clock, a true masterpiece of ingenuity and design.
Compact and foldable, it closes into a metal or leather case, protecting its delicate dial. No need for batteries or a charger—just a simple wind-up, and it comes back to life.
Back in the day, it was the ultimate companion for great travelers. Whether in a hotel room or at the edge of the world, it ensured its owner never missed an appointment. Its steady ticking lulled many to sleep, while its alarm—though discreet—had a knack for making sure you got up… sometimes with ruthless insistence!
Today, it’s one of those objects that tell the story of an era. A time when people took care of their belongings, choosing items designed to last a lifetime… or even several generations.
So, if you ever find one at the bottom of a drawer or in a flea market, don’t let it sleep for too long. Give it a turn of the key, listen to it breathe back to life… and let yourself be transported by its story.
