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. 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 five wood finish options shown 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." 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.

Faces

Antique Arabic Dial: Adapted from a classic American antique grandfather clock, this traditional-style face look great with any decor. Victorian style arabic numerals are set against an aged parchment background.

Roman Numeral Dial: This dial face reflects the "time-tested" tradition of over 600 years of clock making. The Roman chapters are set against a subtle white marble background.

Japanese Leaves Dial: This simple, elegant design features a Japanese maple leaf motif adapted from a painted screen. Subtle tick marks at the edge of the dial allow the alarm hand to be accurately set.

Hokusai Wave Dial: This dial face is adapted from the masterpiece "The Great Wave" by Katushika Hokusai—a woodblock print from the "floating world" art movement in feudal Japan.

Dream Kanji Dial: This elegant dial face features the oriental character for "dream" set against a simple rice paper background.

Zen Garden Dial: Concentric circles of raked sand suggest the tranquility of a Zen garden. The character at the top of the dial means "inner peace."

Cloud Dial: This dial face is from a photograph of clouds taken from 30,000 feet over the Colorado Rockies. Tick marks at the edge indicate the position of the hours.

Nautilus Shell Dial. The Chambered Nautilus grows its shell in a perfect 'Golden Mean Spiral'—a universal pattern of harmonious growth which is also reflected in the clock's chime progression.

Arabic Numeral Dial: Simple and elegant black Arabic numbers against a bluish background reminiscent of an abalone shell.

Gold Screen Dial: In the 16th century, Japanese screen painters began using gold leaf backgrounds to create magnificent effects. This printed dial, featuring bugundy-colored Arabic numerals, reproduces the allure of a swirling ocean motif painted on gold leaf.
