AC02 Alarm Clock: Japanese Craftsmanship Meets Minimalist Design
Some analogue time.
An elegant addition to any room.
“The AC02 alarm clock’s low-key sophistication traces its design heritage back to the Bauhaus movement of 1920s Germany. It builds on the acclaimed Punkt. AC01, which was launched in 2011 and has been presented in design exhibitions around the world, including at the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Triennale Museum in Milan, and the Tate Modern in London.”
Petter Neby, founder of Punkt.
Alarm clock with premium construction
Punkt. AC02 alarm clock with clean, minimalist design and top-quality components, mounted within an outer housing of one-piece solid aluminum and a glass front. This clock combines durability and aesthetic appeal.
Intelligent design features
Useful details include having the entire back of the alarm clock function as a switch to control both the light and the snooze feature for convenience, intuitive use and effortless morning routine.
Minimalist aesthetic and design heritage
A Bauhaus-inspired, modern classic that enhances the décor of any room from medieval to modern interiors, whether at home or at work.
Alarm clock with precision Japanese mechanism
Meticulously hand-assembled for Punkt. in Ibaraki, Japan, AC02 featuring a precise Japanese quartz movement, ensuring reliable and accurate timekeeping.
“Although built around a completely new mechanism, the AC02 remains true to the original design of Punkt.'s very first product. With subtle refinements to the aluminium body and a new deep black anodised finish, this updated model celebrates constancy.”
Design by Jasper Morrison
Gravitas + levitas
The weightiness of the AC02’s solid aluminum housing is perfectly counterbalanced by its light, simplistic design, creating an elegant minimalist alarm clock presence.
Anodised finish
The anodising process enhances the aluminum with a distinctive, durable coating that elevates both the aesthetic appeal and tactile experience of this designer clock, perfect for any setting.
Glass-fronted
Unlike conventional table clocks covered with plastic that scuffs over time, the AC02 features a glass front, ensuring clarity and longevity for your timekeeping.
Convenient alarm activation
Easily activate the alarm function by rotating the knurled ring surrounding the clock's mechanism. This intuitive design includes a neat indicator dot that appears when the alarm is set, providing a clear reminder.
Effective illumination
Luminescent hour points, clock hands, and the alarm time indicator are complemented by a user-friendly LED light ring, which can be effortlessly activated by pressing the back of the clock. This same action also triggers the Snooze feature for added convenience.
Top quality mechanism
Designed by Jasper Morrison and meticulously manufactured in Japan, the AC02 features a top-quality mechanism crafted by one of the country’s leading clock manufacturers, ensuring reliable timekeeping and alarm performance in this battery-operated alarm clock.
Colour options
The standard AC02 is monochrome black and white, optionally with the alarm time indicator in a contrasting colour.
Universal appeal
Enhances any home or office environment, from the mediæval to the modern.
The analogue advantage
Amid the digital onslaught, the analogue clock face of the AC02 provides a human touch to timekeeping, making it easier to read time as “19:13” versus “a quarter past seven.” It stands out as the best bedroom clock and a perfect addition to any contemporary space.
*Coloured alarm time indicator hands are not luminescent.
