Some of these timepieces are well suited to travel and others are a functional and stylish addition to the home. Choose from a range of features including snooze buttons, calendars, easy to read numbers, one-touch glow and long battery life. These are outstanding accessories that go far beyond nightstand displays, too, with mantel and desktop designs that make great corporate and graduation gifts. While black is a base shade, it also creates excitement. A sense of authority makes black a popular choice.
