The Zen Alarm Clock

The Zen Alarm Clock's long-resonating Tibetan bell-like chime makes waking up a beautiful experience — its progressive chimes begin your day with grace. When the Clock's alarm is triggered, the acoustic chime bar is struck just once … 3-1/2 minutes later it strikes again … chime strikes become more frequent over 10 minutes … eventually striking every 5 seconds until shut off (see the chime progression graph, below). As they become more frequent, the gentle chimes will always wake you up — your body really doesn't need to be awakened harshly, with a Zen Clock you're awakened more gradually and thus more naturally.

Zen Alarm Clocks are available in the four wood finish options (see all here). Each wood finish is available in a variety of dial face choices which can be seen by clicking on one of the clocks above. Zen Clocks are made with a Japanese quartz movement and measure 8" high x 11" wide x 3" deep. They run on 4 "C" batteries (not included). Average battery life with everyday use is about 2 years. Each Zen Clock's 'E tone' chime has been hand-tuned to produce the same tone as the tuning forks used by musical therapists. The 10 minute chime progression sequence follows the "golden ratio progression shown in the graph on the right." Zen Clocks come with a 40 page booklet detailing their many uses and their harmonic design. All Now & Zen products are designed in Boulder, Colorado, and made in Shen Zhen, China; they include a 1 year warranty and our 45 day money-back guarantee.
