Kikkerland / $20 This is an interesting one.  There is nothing technically interesting about the clock but the two features that make it stand out are the amber colored display and the clear housing.   It has a pretty simple design – it is just a brick but for $20, you can’t go wrong. The [...]

By Freddie Yauner / Price Unknown As best as I can tell, I believe this is just a concept clock.  The claim to fame is that the clock has enough decimal points in the seconds position to count in the millionths of a second.  I doubt the internal oscellator is that accurate – but I [...]

By Jon Ellis / ~$150 via eBay Okay, I just ordered this clock and should have it in about a week.  Below is the photo Jon sent me of my actual unit and the description was lifted from the eBay auction description.  The highlights are: Numitron based display.  Numitrons are display tubes that are fundamentally [...]

By Jeff Thomas / Resonant Instruments LLC – (not in production) http://www.amug.org/~jthomas/clockpage.html A few days ago Jeff Thomas emailed me with some photographs of a Pong style watch he was working on.  His modified an OLED photo key chain to display the time instead of small photos.  Like the other Pong Watch, his displays the [...]

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 [...]
