Product Insights
The Simons Maison Double-Bell Table Clock is a $25 CAD metal-and-glass alarm clock (steel, aluminum, glass) that trades plastic materials and feature bloat for an affordable price via in-house branding. It offers silent timekeeping with an extra-loud, continuous metal bell alarm that rings until manually shut off—so loud it's audible across the room and recommended for placement on the opposite end to force heavy sleepers out of bed. Buyers report it as durable and hardy, with a single AA battery lasting 6–12 months, making it the most cost-effective metal twin-bell clock available.
Verified claims
- Alarm
- Extra-loud, continuous metal-on-metal bell alarm that rings until manually shut off with the on/off switch; the metal twin bells provide a durable wake-up call.
- Usage tips
- Buyers report placing the clock across the room so the loud alarm is effective for waking heavy sleepers.
- Silent operation
- Silent timekeeping: the quartz sweep movement produces no audible ticking, so the only sound is the alarm bell.
- Materials
- Steel, aluminum, and glass construction at $25, an outlier versus plastic alternatives.
- Trade-offs
- Deliberate feature omissions and in-house pricing enable a steel, aluminum, and glass build at $25 CAD.
- Battery life
- Single AA alkaline battery lasts 6–12 months.
- Value
- At $25 CAD, this is the most affordable metal twin-bell clock, made possible by the Simons Maison in-house brand.
- Durability
- A buyer reports the clock works brilliantly and is hardy.
- Loudness
- Buyers report the alarm is extra-loud with a traditional bell ring, audible across the room for heavy sleepers.
- Snooze
- This clock has no snooze function; the alarm is stopped with a simple on/off switch.
- Shut-off lever
- The clock lacks the traditional top shut-off lever; the alarm is silenced with the on/off switch.
- Glass face
- The glass lens is harder than acrylic and resists fine scratches from keys, coins, or rough dusting.
- Time setting and accuracy
- Time is set with the small adjustment knob on the back, and the quartz movement keeps accurate time without noticeable drift—within a few seconds a month.
- Corrosion resistance
- The aluminum components naturally resist corrosion, keeping the bright metal accents clean-looking even in damp bedside air.
- Stability
- The steel shell gives the clock enough weight to stay planted when pressing the alarm switch, without the slide-and-scoot of lightweight plastic models.

User shares positive experience with twinbell alarm clock and advice for use
It has been working brilliantly. I didn't do too much research, most of them work pretty well and are unlikely to break, they're an old design so easy enough to replicate in a way that's pretty hardy. I got this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09P3PQ7X7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share My recommendation if you do end up getting one would be to place it on the other side of the room. Typical advice I know, but for these, it really helps, because it gives you more time for the panic to truly set in and get you up and proper shmooving to turn it off. It is easy to get used to though, so make sure you don't jump back into bed after turning it off. Because that way, you do actually start to lose some of the panic inducing effects these give. Remember, a strong alarm is no substitute for proper sleep 😂.
