Kitchen minutes
High-contrast numerals and sturdy cases that can live near steam and spices without losing clarity.
Wall clocks & alarm clocks shop
Time pieces that glow at night and rise with you in the morning
Tick & Rise curates wall clocks and alarm clocks that feel like part of your room: soft sunrise tones, ultra-silent movements and dials you actually want to look at when the alarm rings.
Inside each tick
Silent movements, glowing hands and why tiny details matter
Every wall clock and alarm clock at Tick & Rise is chosen for what happens inside the case. We look at how the hands glide, how quietly the gears move and how the light wraps around the dial at two in the morning when the room is almost dark.
-
Ultra-silent sweep seconds
No sharp clicks in the middle of the night. Sweep movements keep the second hand floating smoothly, so the only thing you notice is how calm the room feels.
-
Layered hands and contrast
Slim brass or matte black hands create a clear contrast against the dial, making it easy to tell the time from across the room without squinting.
-
Night-safe glow
On selected models, subtle lume or soft LED halos give just enough light to read the time without waking you fully up.
Room by room
A different clock for each rhythm in your home
The way you read time in a bright kitchen is not the same as in a quiet bedroom or a focused home office. That is why Tick & Rise builds collections around rooms, not just materials or styles.
Use this simple map as inspiration: imagine which wall would carry a statement clock, which corner needs a tiny alarm, and where you want time to disappear into the background.
Soft wake
Focus zone
Real-life routines
How different clocks shape the first ten minutes of your day
Slow sunrise
06:30
Soft light and a book, not a phone
A sunrise alarm fades in over twenty minutes, matching your breathing instead of cutting through it. When you reach for the clock, you also see the time clearly on the wall across the room, reminding you there is space for a few pages before the day begins.
Family rush
07:15
Everyone moving to the same rhythm
A big, easy-to-read wall clock in the kitchen keeps everyone aligned: kids know when the bus is near, and you can tell at a glance if there is time for another sip of coffee. The alarm that started it all sits quietly, already reset for tomorrow.
Study session
08:05
From alarm beep to deep focus
A compact alarm on the desk switches roles after it rings: from wake-up signal to silent session timer. Combined with a minimal wall clock above the workstation, it sets a clear start and finish for focused blocks of study.
Surfaces & finishes
Pick the clock finish that matches your light
From warm wood to cool metal and calm matte tones, each finish reacts differently to the light in your room.
Natural oak rim
Soft texture for calm living rooms and bedrooms.
Matte black metal
Graphic edge for modern studios and home offices.
Soft matte white
Blends into minimalist bedside tables without stealing focus.
Analog or digital
Two ways to read the same morning
Choose one mood or mix both in different rooms.
Analog
Hands sweeping in circles
Classic dials that show time as movement, not just numbers.
Digital
Digits glowing in the dark
Clear numbers you can read at a glance, day or night.
Wall layouts
One clock as a statement or many clocks as a story
See how different layouts change the mood of the same wall.
Cluster of small clocks
Mix sizes and finishes to build a playful time gallery.
Single bold centerpiece

Sound & silence
Clocks that stay quiet when the room needs to rest
Some rooms can hold a gentle tick. Others need complete silence. Tick & Rise marks each clock with a simple sound scale so you know where it belongs.
Care loop
A simple routine to keep your clocks precise for years
A few small habits keep wall clocks and alarms running smoothly without turning maintenance into a chore.
Step 1
Mount with balance
Use the right anchor and check that the clock hangs flat. A balanced case keeps the movement stress-free.
Step 2
Change batteries on time
Swap batteries before they fade. Consistent power means consistent time.
Step 3
Dust the dial gently
Soft cloth, no harsh cleaners. Clear glass makes every minute easier to read.
Slow shopping
A small store rhythm instead of endless scrolling
Tick & Rise is built like a compact clock shop: fewer pieces, clearer descriptions and no rush to decide.
Curated, not crowded
We keep the collection tight so each clock has room to be understood, not just viewed.
Packaging that feels calm
Recycled boxes, solid padding and simple instructions make unboxing easy and quiet.
Real answers, not scripts
Support messages are written by people who actually know the collection.
Workday line

Morning, midday and evening need different ways of seeing time. This simple dayline shows how a few well-chosen clocks can support each phase.
Size guide
Small bedside dials or large wall circles
Use this simple guide to pick a size that feels natural on your wall or nightstand.
On the move
Travel alarms that feel familiar in new places
A compact alarm clock can anchor your sleep even when the room is different every night.
- Lightweight cases that slip between clothes without adding bulk.
- Clear dials you can read in a dim hotel room without unlocking a phone.
- Gentle alarm tones that wake you, not the entire floor.
Alarm questions
Short answers to common alarm clock doubts
A few quick explanations so you can choose the right alarm without reading a manual first.
Will a silent sweep alarm still wake me up?
Yes. The sweep movement is silent only when showing time. The alarm sound is separate and designed to be heard, while the ticking stays out of the way at night.
Are soft alarms loud enough for heavy sleepers?
Many models combine a gentle start with a gradual increase in volume, giving you a calm first minute and a clear signal if you need more time to wake.
Do I have to reset the alarm every day?
Some clocks use daily repeat, others are one-shot. In the collection we clearly mark which model fits your routine, so you do not have to guess.
What if the power goes out at night?
Battery-powered alarms keep their time even during an outage. For plug-in models we suggest keeping a compact backup alarm on the nightstand.
Why Tick & Rise

We choose
- Silent or soft movements for shared spaces.

- Finishes that age well instead of chasing short trends.
We say no to
