Simply plug into any USB power source (outlet, adapter, or power bank)
You can even connect it to a smart plug or integrate it into a smart home setup.
⏳ Option 3: Wind-Up Clock (Old School, No Power Required)
If you prefer a completely unplugged solution, go mechanical with a wind-up clock movement:
- Requires manual winding every few days
- No electricity or batteries
- Ideal for those who love vintage, sustainable designs
You’ll find these mechanisms online or at antique and clock part stores. Bonus: they give your clock a charming tick-tock sound!
🌱 Why You Should Make the Switch
- Save money on batteries over time
- Reduce electronic waste—no more tossing old batteries
- Eco-friendly: uses clean or renewable energy
- Convenient: no more surprise clock stoppages
- Long-lasting: capacitor or USB systems can outlive regular battery mechanisms

If DIY isn’t your thing, you can buy clocks that come battery-free right out of the box. Many modern models are powered by:
- Solar panels
