🎨 Act 1: Found Karlsson clocks with that chunky retro vibe

The flip clock in orange? Chef's kiss (but out of budget)
The jungle green digital alarm? Pure 80s nostalgia
The one with wireless charging built in? Wait, practical AND pretty?

📻 Act 2: AIWA is still making radios??

Yes, THAT Aiwa. The boombox brand from your childhood. They're back and making retro-styled radios in 2024.

The nostalgia hit HARD.
