[Off-topic] Alarm Clock Recommendations

There was a list discussion a couple years ago about alarm clocks...

http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=5934

...and it made me wonder-- what do usability-sensitive people use for alarm
clocks?

I'm at a point where I'm ready to buy the last alarm clock I'll ever need,
so for argument's sake, let's say money is no object. What's the most
delightful alarm clock experience you've had?
