This quirky vintage promotional travel alarm clock was made for BASIC Cigarettes and features the playful slogan “Your Basic Time” right on the dial, with the word “BASIC” cleverly rotating with the seconds as part of the design. A fun piece of 1980s tobacciana that blends retro advertising with practical function and plenty of conversation starting charm.
