Modern alarm clocks are dreadfully uncouth, aren't they? The more refined gentleman prefers to be coaxed gently out of bed by his faithful manservant. After all a few choice words are infinitely more civilized than anything today's clanging contraptions can muster.
So wouldn't it be great if a velvety-voiced butler were to awaken you each day. And not just any old butler but an incredibly witty, quintessentially British butler. Someone like, say, Stephen Fry. Well guess what? Thanks to the Voco Clock, Mr Fry will do exactly that, and you won't even have to work with his agent.
This elegant talking alarm clock represents a radical departure from newfangled timepieces as it initially lures sleepers out of dreamland with a gentle birdsong. This is followed by a discreet cough. Next, the comforting words 'Good morning, Sir' will stir you from your slumber. Then you'll hear one of many amusing little messages recorded by Stephen Fry, owner of the most mellifluous voice in Her Majesty's Empire. We love 'em all but a few favorites include:
Press and hold the rosette button to stop the alarm.
Finally an alarm will sound until the rosette button is pressed, at which point the Voco will show its contempt for all things modern by dismissing the beeps with something along the lines of: 'Ghastly noise, I agree, Sir.'
Time to wake up
As well as nearly 50 different wake-up messages, the Voco Clock features a 90-second relaxation message to help ease you to sleep. Oh, the sheer luxury of it. It really is like having your own personal butler. Played by Stephen Fry. Living in a traditional-looking alarm clock. (We could do with a bit of shut-eye ourselves).
The perfect gift for all you lazy blighters and twittish idlers, the Voco is guaranteed to raise a giggle every time you hear its inspired one-liners. So hurry up and hit the Buy Button. Because to quote the butler: 'Sir has a firm touch, but very fair.'

"Where most alarms are sphincter-vexingly shrill, this clock wakes you up like a slap from a mink glove with gentle reminders from the dulcet tones of none other than Stephen Fry."

Very amusing and a very unique product. To hear 'Jeeves' soothing tones as you wake up brings a smile to my face - you turn from slumber almost expecting to see him standing next to you with a tray of breakfast, a witty comment and a copy of the Times freshly ironed. Alas not - maybe this will be a future product release? Ah you're up, Very Good Sir....
