Westclox 10605
Big Ben Classic Alarm Clock

The Westclox 10605 Big Ben Classic Alarm Clock in ivory is an authentic reproduction of the original style 8 Big Ben design by Ellworth Danz for Westclox. The clock was initially manufactured from 1964 through 1981. It's super-simple to use and requires no batteries or house current. Separate keys wind the timekeeping and alarm mechanisms, and the alarm is a real bell. The spring-driven clock movement makes the classic ticking sound. Nearly identical to the alarm clock many people set and wound every night before going to sleep, the Big Ben Classic brings to mind an era of profound social and cultural change in America and worldwide. This clock fits perfectly on a nightstand, shelf, desk, or even on the floor next to your bed.

The 10605 Big Ben Classic remains true to its handsome original 1964 design with an ivory-colored molded case and a brass-plated metal base and bezel. The ivory dial with brown numbers and hands is protected by a shatterproof acrylic lens. The hands have white luminous centers that glow in the dark for easy night viewing. The dial on this clock is a full 4 inches in diameter, and the hour numbers are 3/8-inch tall for easy reading. Designed to rest on a nightstand, table, desktop, shelf, or on the floor next to your bed, the Big Ben 10605 alarm clock works in the home or wherever ac or battery powering is not readily available.


The Big Ben 10605 Classic clock is easy to set and use because everything is done the old-fashioned way. You set the current time and alarm time by means of separate rotating knobs on the back of the clock. Then just turn the separate wind keys for the clock and the alarm clockwise until you feel resistance. Expected cycle time of a fully wound clock is 24 hours with accuracy of +/- 5 minutes, and the clock will actually continue to tell time for about another 12 hours with slightly less accuracy. This time accuracy is typical of key-wound clocks.

To turn the alarm on, you pull the alarm knob out. When the alarm time is reached, an old-fashioned bell sounds for about 12 seconds, unless the alarm knob is pushed in to silence the alarm. This bell is quite loud, so heavy sleepers will find it challenging to remain asleep. As long as the alarm knob is pulled out, the alarm will sound again in 12 hours at the set time.

The clock movement is regulated at the factory, but due to shipping, some movements may require minor adjustment by the user. A regulator lever on the back of the clock can be adjusted to increase or decrease the speed of the clock. Only slight movement of the lever is necessary to make an adjustment.

The 10605 Big Ben clock does make a soft ticking sound. Unless your ears are unusually sensitive, the ticking should be unobtrusive to almost unnoticeable, depending on where you locate the clock.

The Big Ben Classic is intended for placement on a flat surface such as a nightstand, dresser, or shelf, or on the floor next to your bed or couch. It cannot be wall-mounted.

With its luminous hands and easy setup and operation, the Big Ben 10605 Classic is an alarm clock that almost anyone can use and appreciate. Because it's key-wound, you can use the 10605 anywhere. And with a modest price tag, it's an excellent value. Naturally, the Big Ben Classic alarm clock makes a practical, affordable, and nostalgic gift item, especially for folks who remember the '60s and '70s.
