The Countdown to the Millennium Clock

As we approach the end of 2024, the beginning of 2025, and the 25th anniversary of the turn from 1999 to 2000, I thought it might be appropriate to post this Celebration Clock.

Produced by a company called Harry Boxer, Inc., a company which strangely yields no results on a Google search, this is a fairly run-of-the-mill alarm clock with an analog clock and digital timer. 

This thing is laughably cheap. It includes a sheet of stickers--yes, stickers--for Halloween, Christmas, retirement, vacations, etc. that can cover over the "Millennium Year 2000" lettering. At least the alarm clock's face has some images to liven it up. A quick eBay search turns up similar countdown clocks with tons more personality than this. At least it was only $2 at Goodwill.
