Décor first, timepiece second.

Wake up to something that feels more like decor than a device. The Candy Swirl Alarm Clock is a true eye-catcher, with a playful candy-swirl dial that lifts a bedside table, shelf or desk instantly. Choose Sand Brown and White for a warm, golden-toned read, or Black for something more graphic. Explore more playful pieces in the Karlsson range.

It is finished with a domed glass cover for a polished, elevated look, and runs on a silent sweep movement designed for smooth, quiet timekeeping with no ticking. Ideal if you want a bedroom to feel calmer, or if you are styling a guest room where small details matter.

Size-wise it is compact and easy to place, at 12.5cm diameter and approximately 13cm high, so it sits neatly on smaller surfaces without visual clutter. It takes 1 x AA battery, not included, keeping the surface free of cords.

  • Domed glass cover for a more premium, finished look
  • Silent sweep movement, no ticking, for bedside calm
  • Compact size that works on small nightstands and shelves

Styling Tips

  • Pair Black with a monochrome palette where the swirl becomes the one point of pattern
  • Style on a small tray with a candle and a slim vase to make the dial feel intentional, not utility
  • Use in a home office to soften a minimal desk setup with one playful graphic moment
  • A charming gift for anyone who likes their everyday objects to double as decor

The Takeaway

A clock that works as hard as a styling piece as it does a timekeeper. The Candy Swirl brings a little joy to the bedside.
