The retro mid-century dial is housed in a matte black rectangular case mounted on widely-spaced plinth feet. Known as silent sweep in the industry, the hands move in a constant sweeping motion rather than a tick. So you won’t hear any ticking but if your hearing is particularly sensitive in a completely silent room you may hear a very quiet whirring. A digital beep alarm alerts you to wake-up time.
