- Waterbury Clock Company Alarm Clock, circa 1921 - By the late 19th century, spring-driven, key-wound alarm clocks helped Americans wake up and arrive on time for work, school and appointments. Manufacturers sometimes gave these inexpensive clocks imaginative names to help sell their products. The Waterbury Clock Company named this model "Sunbeam" -- perhaps to suggest being awakened by the sun's rays rather than the clock's harsh clanging bell.

- Clock, 1999 - In the late 1990s Target attempted to distinguish themselves from other discount department stores by focusing on lines of proprietary domestic products from well-known designers. Architect Michael Graves was the first designer selected. Part of the "Nefertiti" line, this clock blends ancient Egyptian design elements with whimsical forms intending to appeal to a design-literate public that Target stores sought to court.
