For those who just want a simple alarm clock, then you may like Sam Hecht’s newest innovative design for Idea International in Japan. Sam Hecht from Industrial Facility has now designed something even better, the Jetlag Travel Alarm Clock. The clock was created because of Hecht’s frustration of setting an alarm while traveling.



It is a simple design that many would probably wonder why didn't they think about it first! While most companies jump on the iPod/clock docking systems, Hecht has actually decided to go back to basics and make an alarm clock simple again, without needing stereo instructions to operate it.



Thus, on the left side of the clock you can set the time and on the right side you set the alarm. Both times are displayed at the same time so you never forget what you set your alarm for. However, the main reason why it was named Jetlag, was that the clock is easily portable (based upon the size of half a passport) and has a special lock button for traveling (to stop the display inadvertently changing).



The Jetlag Alarm Clock also comes with a battery compartment that uses no screws, display illumination and an alarm/snooze button that also incorporates the speaker. The Jetlag Travel Alarm Clock has already won awards for its simplicity and high practicality.



Available since October 2008, from retailer Idea International, The Jetlag Travel Alarm Clock comes in red, white and black. Unfortunately, pricing details are not publicly available just yet, so, if you can't wait until the vendor publishes a price tag for this item, you'll have to contact the manufacturers directly.
