Miracle Travel Clock

Another travel clock from my watch and clock collection.

A travel clock is usually a compact (sometimes, pocket-) clock with an alarm which can be mechanical, electronic (or digital) or even an electro-mechanical clock (and I have at least one of those, of which - later).

I have several travel clocks, and already cataloged on this blog one of them and my favorite - the Ford Travel Clock.

But today I bring you another travel clock of mine, a cheap Chinese travel clock called Miracle Travel Clock.

I think this clock is at least 20 years old, as such and similar clocks were widely and very cheaply available and even ubiquitous in the early 1990s here in Russia.

So I opened the battery compartment, inserted a new battery... and the clock sprang to life! After 20 years!

Can't read what it says on the clip but suspect it means something along the lines of "brilliant' or "brilliance" or some other such stuff.

It has a clip for wearing on your belt and a chain also with a clip for same - double security, you wouldn't want to lose such a cool thing, would you now?

Ford Electronic Travel Clock

Travel clocks are usually compact mechanical, electro-mecanical or electronic clocks (usually with an alarm function) that are compact and meant for use on the road. 

I have several travel clocks, and here's one of them - the Ford electronic (digital) travel clock. 

Functions:

• Calendar: date, day, month, year (only in set mode) - an automatic calendar up to 2099 after which goes back to 1900).
• Time: current time.
• Alarm: daily alarm plus a birthday reminder, i.e. a yearly alarm.
• Timer: yes.
• Thermometer: yes, switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius by pressing just one button.

There is also a magnet on the back, so you can stick it to a refrigerator....

...or to a cooker.

Purchased it some years back from my Ford dealer, the clock is made in China, of course, and it's good quality.

Temperature readout is switched from Celsius above to Fahrenheit below.
