Try the eSmart Digital Alarm Clock with smart set feature. This clock comes preset with the correct time--just choose the time zone.

Brace yourself for a shrill alarm however.

Choose a traditional wind-up bell alarm clock if you don't like the look of an electric alarm clock. Wind-up clocks never go out of style, look great on a nightstand and don't take up as much room as an electric model. Look for the Bulova Bellman Wind-Up Bell Alarm Clock for a classic timekeeper at the Gifts for Professionals website (see Resources below).
