Howard Miller Copper Style Propeller Desk Alarm Clock

$52.00
A playful Howard Miller propeller clock with an antique copper finish, round parchment-style dial, and three bold ship-propeller blades that make it feel part nautical, part industrial, and part “this belongs on the desk of someone who owns a globe and a very specific pen.”

This quartz alarm clock can be displayed two ways: use the removable rear support stick as a tabletop “kickstand,” or remove it and hang the clock on the wall using the built-in hanger hole on the back. It ticks, keeps time, and the alarm works. The second hand has a smooth, continuous sweep around the dial instead of the usual stop-and-go tick, and it is genuinely satisfying to watch (see video). Etsy listing videos are silent by default, so the clip will not play audio even though the alarm is working as it should.

📚 Historical Context

Howard Miller built its reputation on clocks that looked at home in boardrooms, dens, mantel displays, and later, design-catalog gift sections. This piece comes from that later Howard Miller era, when the company offered smaller specialty clocks with strong visual themes: nautical, aviation, industrial, executive desk, and travel-inspired designs.

This model takes the form of a ship’s propeller, finished in antique copper with a weathered parchment-style dial. It is a little bit maritime, a little bit machine age, and exactly the sort of clock that turns a simple desk corner into a conversation starter. The kind of piece that says, “Yes, I know what time it is, but I’d prefer to be near a harbor.”
