01CLOCKS
Silent sweep meets classic bell chime
The Newgate Charlie Bell Echo sits on the bedside table as a quiet companion to the morning routine. Its matte black casing and graphic dial offer a modern counterpoint to traditional alarm clocks, blending industrial precision with aesthetic calm.
This quartz-powered piece features a silent sweep movement that glides rather than ticks, paired with a physical twin-bell alarm for those who prefer a tangible wake-up call. It suits those who value both visual restraint and mechanical character in their home decor.
02DESIGN
A graphic dial in matte black
The face presents a contemporary graphic layout set against a deep matte black background. The material composition includes metal, acrylic, paper and glass, creating a layered surface that feels substantial yet sleek. The colour is a uniform black, ensuring the piece integrates seamlessly into dark or neutral interiors without competing for attention.
MOVEMENT
Glide rather than tick
Industry known as silent sweep, the hands traverse the dial in a constant, fluid motion. This eliminates the familiar stepped ticking sound, leaving only a potential whisper of whirring in absolute silence. For sensitive ears, this smooth progression offers a quieter environment while maintaining precise timekeeping through its quartz mechanism.
ALARM
The tangible twin-bell signal
Unlike digital beeps, this clock employs a moving hammer striking twin bells. The mechanical action provides a distinct, resonant alert that cuts through sleep more effectively than electronic tones. It is a deliberate choice for users who find physical vibration and acoustic resonance more effective for waking than abstract digital sounds.
