Item number CK09 is an alarm clock that contains a quartz analog battery powered clock movement.

The clock case may be popped open and snapped closed. When the button located to the left of the clock dial is pressed, the top portion of the case will pop up. When the top of the opened case is pushed down, the clock case may be snapped closed.
