The bedside clock is one of those objects whose design has been largely abandoned to the cheap and the utilitarian; which makes a well-considered one all the more effective in a room that takes its details seriously. The Galloway Celestial Tabletop Clock occupies that gap with confidence. A compact round form on a dark wood base carries a midnight blue dial face laid with gold Arabic numerals, a gold sweep hand, and a celestial quality that suits the kind of bedroom where the walls are a deep tone and the light after ten is warm and low. The silent non-ticking quartz movement keeps time without announcing itself. Small enough for a bedside table without dominating it, substantial enough to read as a considered decorative object rather than a functional afterthought. The deep blue dial holds the light differently depending on whether it catches direct or ambient illumination; a small but genuine pleasure in a well-appointed bedroom. Available in over twelve colorways.
