- Dial and Function
- The dial is rendered in a gold colour and features applied baton indices for the hour markers. A minute track is positioned on the outer ring of the dial. Time is indicated by black baton-style hands. Setting of the time is performed via a gold-coloured crown located on the narrow side of the case.

- Case and Construction
- The travel alarm clock consists of a two-part rectangular case finished in horizontally brushed silver-coloured metal. The narrow sides of the case are accented in gold-coloured metal. The design relies on a slide mechanism where the two halves of the case pull apart horizontally. This motion reveals the internally mounted round clock module. The clock module is framed by a ribbed gold-coloured ring, which remains visible only when the housing is in the extended position.
