Real Alarm Clock
An old wind-up alarm clock runs on a spring: winding the key tightens the spring, and as it slowly unwinds it turns the gears and the hands.

About it
An old wind-up alarm clock runs on a spring: winding the key tightens the spring, and as it slowly unwinds it turns the gears and the hands. Two metal bells sit on top, and when the alarm goes off a little hammer rattles back and forth between them.
Its hands show the real time on this device, in its local time zone, and the red second hand ticks once a second. Tap it and the twin bells ring while the clock rattles across the table. Before alarm clocks were common, some people paid a "knocker-up" to tap on windows with a long pole and wake people for work.
