Two Timer Clock Does Dual Time Zones, Handy for Away-From-Home Bloggers

AddyDugdale — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:10:00 EDT

This name of this product is something to be cherished—way to go Industrial Facility, the guys behind this wall clock. A second dial gives the Two Timer a melted effect, and if I had one of these, maybe I wouldn't cock up my time stamps on Giz so much. Coming in two sizes and three colors—black, white and red, the Two Timer is available from up-and-coming furniture makers Established & Sons. [Dezeen]

"Vice Versa" Digital Clock Only Needs Its Hands To Serve You

Sean Fallon — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 19:40:08 EDT

A lot of designers have taken a minimalist approach when it comes to wall clocks these days, and China's Yiran Qian certainly fits into that category with his "Vice Versa" clock. However, being gadget geeks, we do appreciate the inclusion of a digital interface on the hands. It's a truly unique way to blend the aesthetics of an analog clock with the functionality of a digital. It's only a concept at this point, but I wouldn't mind glancing at this clock in the morning when I'm running late. [Designboom]

The Wall Clock

Jason Chen — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 18:50:46 EDT

Now you can smirk smugly as you tell your houseguests that you've got a "wall clock". See, it's a clock that only has a center piece for the mechanism and the hands, plus twelve dots you stick onto your wall.

Sure, it's kinda cool, but if you ever want to move the clock a foot over to the right it's a gigantic hassle and will take chunks off your wall. – Jason Chen

One Hour Circle Clock not for the Houseproud

Addy Dugdale — Wed, 02 May 2007 06:37:56 EDT

This is a bit like watching paint dry. The Everlast Circle Clock is a one-handed time-telling device that draws circles on your wall. Which to me sounds like all the hassle of having a ~~destructive~~ creative toddler at home with none of the benefits (dirty nappies, repeating rude words they heard from you in front of Granny and Pa, discovering that spoons make very effective catapults, especially when teamed with carrot purée).

Stick a pencil in the arm, stick the clock on the wall—or against a piece of paper if you live in a minimalist's loft—and watch it draw a circle. I'll leave you with the guff from the website. "Are you the sort of person who projects to those around you an affinity for temporal illustrations?" Er, I think the answer is 42. The Everlast Circle Clock is $21&madash;plus the cost of an quarterly paint job for the wall. – Ad Dugdale

Lexon LCD E8 Wall Clock Keeps 'Em Guessing

Charlie White — Tue, 01 May 2007 12:20:00 EDT

Annoying timekeeping schemes are not just for watches any more, as evidenced by this minimalist LCD E8 eight wall clock from Lexon, a company that also makes a watch with this same goofy layout.

How does it work? Each of the four columns represents a digit, and sure, it's confusing but we hear it's easy to get used to after a short while. The little indicator halfway up makes it a bit easier, showing you the spot where the 5 is.

Either mount this baby on the wall or prop it up on its own built-in stand, and keep everybody guessing about what time it really is. If all this annoys you, avoid its steep $203 price and use the clock on your $600 cellphone. – Charlie White

Big Ben LED Wall Clock for Stoners and Myopics

Good god, do you think this Big Ben LED Wall Clock is going to be big enough? Well, after you've smoked a couple of Thanksgiving doobs you're probably going to need a timepiece this big to tell you that it's already 4:20, dude.

The thing is an expansive three feet wide and looks to us like it could double as a scoreboard at a football stadium. It's all yours for $94.95. – Charlie White

Analog Binary Wall Clock

Jason Chen — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 17:00:09 EST

Had your fill of binary clocks? Check out this analog binary wall clock, which combines traditional clock technology with the computer science nerditry that ensured you never got laid in high school. The clock looks like an actual clock, but instead of numbers or even roman numerals, you get the binary representation of 1 through 12 instead.

This costs $40, so you may be better off going to a garage sale, buying a clock for $2, and making your own binary clock out of some construction paper. Better yet, make one that just says "BEER" twelve times. Heh, beer o'clock. – Jason Chen
