By Lexon Studio / Brieuc du Roscoät Price: 95.00 Euro (~$130 USD) This is one of those clocks, like the Think Geek Epoch Clock, that you would get simply so that no one else could read it.  This clock is made out of plastic with a glass face covering the display.  In the photo above, [...]

By Industrial Facility (UK) for IDEA International, Japan Price: $40 (US) This clock just makes sense.  There isn’t any retro-steampunk-vacuum-tube display.  There isn’t any innovation in the way that time is displayed.  Instead, there is just a great interface and clean lines to define this clock.  The focus is on utility with an unusual two [...]

By Antrepo Design Industry (not in production) http://antrepo4.com/ This clock is not in production, but hopefully it will be soon.  I love this design – it is something between a linear radio tuner and a ruler.  According to their official blog: “Antrepo Design Industry is now in a research process to find a partner company [...]

The Spirit of St Louis By The Verdict I’ll start by saying that £49.95 is way too much for what looks to be metal colored plastic and genuine faux wood texture.  However, the segregated 7-segment amber LED display looks cool.  That almost makes up for the abysmal design of the exterior and the terrible product [...]

by Julien Bergignat This is a neat watch concept by industrial designer Julien Bergignat.  The display looks sharper than any e-ink based display I’ve come across but the strong formal elements in this rendering make up for any criticisms I can come up with   Given the flexible nature of this medium, I don’t see [...]

Epoch Clock – By ThinkGeek (OEM unknown) I love this clock.  It is nerdy on so many levels but manages to keep a good formal arrangement.  Who says geeks can’t be designers? The Epoch in this case refers to the Unix Epoch (AKA POSIX Time) of 00:00:00 UTC Jan 1, 1970.  Basically, computers count time [...]

By John at Maushammer.com This has got to be one of the coolest watches I’ve seen in a while.  It is quite a bit more advanced than the Nixie watch and, unlike the Tokyo Flash watches, the whole face is animated.  The display plays a mini-pong game and the score represents the hours and the [...]

Wow, The Kickass Clocks and Kickass Watches series got some serious attention on this site.  Thank you!  Because I am addicted to seeing my web stats go up – here is Kickass Clocks Part Two: Verbarius By Art Lebedev – $200 http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/verbarius/ Most clock write out the time in numbers.  Verbarius writes out the time [...]

I got quite a bit of interest from the Kickass Clocks post so I thought I would do a follow up. Now, for the neatest watches in the world. The Nixie Tube Digital Wristwatch! By Jeff Thomas / Resonant Instruments LLC http://www.amug.org/~jthomas/watch.html This is the really little brother of the NixiChron clock.  The fact that [...]

As they say in Monty Python: “And now for something completely different.” I love unique clocks.  Not grandfather clocks, not cheap $10 alarm clocks, I am talking about hand-made small quantity digital clocks.  Without any more filler text, here is my list of favorite clocks: Nocrotec Sylvia Clock By Dieter Wächter – $399 http://nocrotec.com/start.php?navi=5&pid=21&gtxtid=110&lg=en This [...]
