Home  |  Clock
At first glance this clock looks like a image! The Real Time Canvas Clock(€26) is a real 3D clock on a canvas frame, which has a clock mechanism built into it – it’s a 2D clock with a 3D mechanism.
"If you’re looking for a print, this modern monochromatic representation of the classic alarm clock on canvas adds minimalist style to any room. If you’re looking for a time piece, the Real Time Canvas Clock has a clock mechanism built into it – it’s a 2D clock with a 3D mechanism. So you get the best of both worlds, the look of art, as well as the time to admire it!

Inflating Alarm Clock Pushes You Out Of Bed

Home  |  Clock
Jeff's "Princess and the Pea" alarm clock rigged an air compressor to lift up one side of a mattress when it’s time to wake up.
"No ordinary alarm clock: the Princess and the Pea Alarm Clock ("PPAC") leaves no room for snoozing, inflating a green "pea" between the mattress and box spring, making it impossible to stay in bed. In the tin can, a homemade Arduino-compatible board with clock and memory chips handles the alarm clock functions, and a power block under the night stand provides power and relays driving the sprinkler valve or other alarming alarm functions."

Home  |  Clock
Long-D Clock designed by Kit Men Keung for Taiwanese company Verso Lab.
This Long-D Clock has a dual time piece that displays twin time zones in a visually subtle manner. See the images again, actually it has secondary hand in a contrasting color that lets yo know the twin time zones. Cool design!
"Intended to allow users to read the times of twin time zones in a visually subtle style while maintaining a regular relationship with someone on the other side of the globe. The colour contrast of secondary clock hands have been delicately reduced to appear like a shadow on the interface acting as a conscious reminder of the distance between the user and their connections abroad. With a passing glance the user can quickly and easily attain the information from the clock.

Home  |  Clock
The Shake N Wake Alarm Clock(GBP 15; about $25) is a wearable alarm clock, which is worn on your wrist just like a watch, or you can place it under your pillow, and when the alarm sounds it will begin to shake and vibrate to wake you up.
"Strap it to your wrist or place it under your pillow and it’ll shake and vibrate to wake you up. This vibration alarm feature also means that the Shake-N-Wake alarm is useful for anyone with a hearing impairment, or that needs to be reminded to take medication regularly.
The optional bleep alarm means that it can also be used as a normal alarm clock and a backlit LED display guarantees that it’s easy to check the time in the dark.

Home  |  Clock
The Sevres Vase Clock is is a new type of timepiece that tells the hour by tapping on the surface of a vase to produce sound. An adjustable hammer mechanism allows a variety of vases to be used, thereby permitting a range of chimes to be generated. By Georgios Maridakis.
An adjustable hammer gently knocks on any vase you place on the stand on the hour, every hour. Different vases produce different sounds so potentially every home’s clock looks and sounds different just from one device.

The Nixie Concrete Clock

Array
Home  |  Clock
The Concrete Clock tells you time. By designer Daniel Kurth, featuring a set of six vintage Z560M Nixie tubes embedded in a fairly hefty block of concrete. The time in above photo is 10:28:09.
"The Luxembourgish designer enclosed the shiny orange Nixie tubes in a reinforced rough concrete body which can optionally be wall mounted. The strength of this design lies in the application of 'retro technology' and its interesting combination of components and materials, where one is easily fooled as to what is old and what is new. All electronic components in this fully functioning prototype are assembled by hand.
Unlike other clocks that make use of Nixie tubes, this one does not read like a traditional display. Kurth experienced that clocks - regardless of their esthetic value - sometimes form a disturbing factor in one's house, since being constantly reminded of the time can be stressful. By rearranging the display, one can enjoy the playful interaction between the 6 different tubes without realising straight away what time it is. A short focus will however allow you to use it as a 'normal' clock. "
