1. When you are away a lot travelling with work, you need a reliable way of waking you up. I bought this portable alarm clock from the Hermès shop in Harrods for my wife Bettina years ago, but appropriated it for myself. It is such good quality, plus is perfectly pocket-size and, being Hermès, wakes you up very politely.
