It looks corded to the wall. How ironic. We could have a dramatic movie death scene where they unplug someone's clock, and it stops ticking, but no one notices cause it measures in freakin' years.

Apparently we're all reborn at 84.

@Jason Chen Well, since it measures in increments of 1.4 years per 'tick' (or is it 'tock?') it would be very difficult to keep track of birthdays as stated....unless you only celebrated one every seven years (Bizarro Dog World Calendar).

@Darrone: Surely at some point in 84 years, you'd relocate, thus introducing the conundrum of whether or not to unplug and pack the clock when you do.

@IrisMR: It's the Logan's Run clock!

RENEW! RENEW! (poof)

@IrisMR: good observation;-)

Actually, that had me counting... Because there are just 4 marks between every 7 years, so, whenever the hand rests on a mark, you should, by all mathematical logic, be 7/5 years older, or, in days, 511.35, taking into consideration leap years. They could have at least bothered to adapt the markings to the 7-year rhythm; like this, it's just a neat idea cheaply executed. Painting over a conventional clock doesn't quite cut it.

@tinshaker: beat me to it;-)

Of course the clock has a woman's version that stops working when it reaches 35.

Does it come with a lifetime replacement warranty?

boy you'd think that a clock whose hand moves 1/730th less than a normal minute hand does could stand to be battery powered...

is there a sun dial version of this? of course it would only work on one the poles of Uranus so there probably isn't much of a market for it.

Would be fun to turn it ahead (or back) a few years while (prank victim was) sleeping. Feel better man? You slept almost seven years!

@eye4fx:

and complains the rest of the way

Thats going to be depressing for old people who are always reminded of how old they are when they look at the clock.

@Geisrud: Everytime the power goes out, you get younger.

Seems backwards or upside down. Shouldn't a lifetime visual metaphor have the hands going up to the half way point and then down from there? Personally, I'm at about ¼ past 6 on this thing but my lifehand is moving up.

Okay I'd prefer a clock that maxes out at 120 years. Then you could still have the 12 usual divisions. Life would pass away as it seems to for some of us, aka: decades!! But it needs some kind of cuckoo to let you know once a year that it's your birthday. Of course I can see these given as birthday gifts (at birth). You hit the stopwatch button as soon as the baby is born. And of course it needs an obligatory head rest (to hang on one's tombstone). What happens though when you are brought back to life? Do you get a new clock during bypass surgery or just restart the one you stopped?

@willie333: Do you not know when your birthday is? Perhaps a clock is the least of your worries...

My birthday just passed a few days ago, I have officially turned 3:00

how can i make this?

The clock face should wrinkle up as the time advances.

I'll bet it's a bitch adjusting it for daylight savings.

I want.

damn, I feel like such a n00b =/

I hope you can set your birthday on the back so that it is easy to set up, just watching it tick on your birthday would be worth the year.

Nice clock, but it needs a millennium hand and an eon hand. :)

After '84' we know we are living on "Borrowed Time"

I just hope the batteries last that long. I would hate to wake up one morning to see time has stopped.

@willie333: Yeah, the clock should go in ten year intervals until 120. The minute hand could track the month and it would be easy to tell what month it is by dividing the year by 10. There could even be a second hand that goes around once every month. The way the clock would still be amusing but it would also serve as a sort of calender. Each minute tick would correspond to about half a day.
