I suck at math, but even without the long series of equations I can tell that ClockBall’s neat factor is pretty much equal to its complete and utter uselessness. ClockBall is a desk clock that rolls forward a centimeter ever hour until it reaches the black border of its pad. Then it rolls backward. Time is told in both direction by a yellow bar across the black number line in the middle. Pretty cool, but call me back when they make a Phantasm version.
Also, this picture is awful, but has to be respected for making something that rolls forward and backwards look the least bit dynamic. I think I had this on a Trapper Keeper once.
