This clever piece of functional art combines a printed clock graphic with a real working clock mechanism. I’m thinking office or kitchen.

Taking some visual cues from the Wood Led Clock, the seemingly blank face of the Woodstation Clock’s interface will illuminate through its veneer with a wave of a hand—thanks to its built-in motion sensor—displaying the day’s forecast, temperature, humidity, time and date. It’s designed as a kid’s toy to stimulate young minds about weather and climate change, but it’s got such a great design that I wouldn’t mind having one myself.
Material: compressed recycled wood, coated for extra strength and durability.
Dimensions: 5″L x 2″W x 9″H
Uses 4 AA batteries or an adaptor (included).

Not sure if many of you remember this being posted last year, but I sure do, because I ordered it only to discover a few weeks later that the retailer hadn’t sent it to me and wasn’t responding to any of my emails. I did get a refund, of course, but I was sort of sad when I couldn’t find it anywhere else. Well, that big long sob story is all to say ‘here it is!, I found it!’ (again).
Large white LED lights in metal case. UL approved adapter included.
Measurements : W 16.25 x D 2.25″

It’s sort of rare for wood to be raw, isn’t it? Usually there’s some sort of finish or stain, and maybe that’s why this one looks particularly fresh and new.

You remember doing a potato clock back in school, don’t you? Or at least you remember the idea? Well, using the same sort of principle, this clock creates electricity using wet soil from your own two potted plants, enabling you to have your own tiny electrical generator.
It uses electricity created by a reaction between zinc and copper electrodes, which are buried in the soil (you supply two potted plants). In this case, the wet soil becomes the electrolyte (the conductor) that enables the passage of voltage between the two electrodes. This battery can deliver 1.5 volts, but the earth must be kept moist, so don’t forget to water the plants! Handmade in the Netherlands.
Note: the zinc electrode will be consumed after several years of use. Not recommended for use with herbs or other plants you intend to eat.

As you might be able to guess, this clock’s shape was inspired from dropping a bunch of antique clock hands on to the floor and tracing the outline.

Here’s another hard-to-read time telling device to add to the ever expanding list. (I post this as more of a novelty item than a truly useful one.)
The Galactic LED clock looks as if it was taken straight from the bridge of the starship enterprise. The clock in the picture reads 12:34. 1 – 2 -3 – 4 ….clever huh? The clock can be set to change the time display every second, every minute, or every 4 seconds. there are three brightness levels that can be set by the user. The clock uses the latest LED technology, which means that the lights will last indefinitely. The clock is available in black or silver and can be wall mounted or freestanding. It measures 10-1/4″ x 3″ x 1″ deep and operates off of the included AC plug-in adapter.

Seeing as the rectangle version is no longer available, you might want to snap up the round version quick if it’s your sort of thing. (I know I like it, but have waay too many clocks to add any more to my collection.)
This atypical version of a typical clock is designed to be displayed at the edge of a shelf or mantel. Eye-catching, it appears to be only the top half of a clock, but the hands fully rotate. Made of powder-coated steel with aluminum hands. One AA battery included.
Size: Round: 5.25h x 8w x 2.75″d
Rectangle no longer available
