An old twin-bell mechanical alarm clock on a bedside table, seen close from the front: the second hand trembling one tick short of twelve, the minute hand exactly on the alarm mark, the small hammer between the two brass bells quivering a hair's width from the metal. For the whole shot the second hand twitches forward a fraction and settles back, the hammer shivers but never touches either bell, and the clock never rings. Nothing else moves. Dim blue pre-dawn light from a window, macro, static locked-off camera. Plain dial with only tick marks, no numbers, no text, no letters, no logos
