SAVINGS OF THE WEEK... CLOCKS

THE clocks go forward on March 26 and some will celebrate lighter mornings with the acquisition of a new clock.

There are people who can ignore a mobile phone alarm, but leap up out of bed when an old- fashioned alarm clock goes off.

Newgate’s double- bell Covent Garden alarm clock (pictured) is £15, down from

£29. A Victorian-style Westhampton wall clock, with Roman numerals, is also reduced from £95 to £55 ( newgateworld.com).

Thomas Kent’s elegant white-andblack Arabic clock was £95 and is now £75 at Ginger Interiors ( gingerinteriors.co.uk).

If you want something colourful and subtly retro, the Roger Lascelles red face and Roman numeral wood wall clock has been reduced from £52 to £29.99 ( wayfair. co.uk). But whichever clock you chose, your home’s style and your punctuality should both improve.
