Three electronic: one is a clock-radio.
Two mechanical: a "grand-daughter" (short long-case, if that's not self-contradictory) and shelf or mantle-piece, both with striking & chiming. Unfortunately neither seem to work properly; and though I understand their mechanism, I am not a clock-smith, and I think professional servicing would be expensive.
Plus the oven clock / timer, the display on the PC monitor when it's switched on, and my analogue "quartz"* watch. I don't look at my portable 'phone often enough for this context, and it's switched off much more than on.

"Quartz": Piezo-electric, but more likely artificial material than natural quartz.
