In newspaper slang, closing a section is called putting it to bed. Bedtime comes early in the day, if not week, for feature sections like Travel, Real Estate, Book Review and Arts & Leisure. Later in the day is reserved for breaking news, when articles, photos, captions and headlines converge as newsroom clocks tick down to deadline.

This modern clock’s colored curved lines along the perimeter mark our deadlines, making it perfect for clock-watchers, Times buffs, budding journalists and procrastinators who love to wait until the last minute. It has a non-ticking, silent digital sweep, so time flies by quietly in your home or office. It’s offered in two styles, one with numbers for quick, easy time-telling; the other without numbers for a more minimalist, perhaps non-newsroom, look.

It can be mounted on a wall or displayed a desk or shelf with its accompanying stand. It also comes with one AA battery and an information card about daily Times deadlines.

Made of aluminum and glass, the clock is handcrafted by Lemnos, the Japanese brand known for its world-class clockmakers and simple, clean designs.
