Similar in nature to the TO:CA ‘wood’ LED clock ($150), this clock’s LED time display shows through its wood veneer face. Two speakers at each end ensure you’ll hear your tunes (mp3 player) loud and clear.

I certainly love modern takes on traditional designs. Designer Sam Hecht ditches the radio and dreaded electronic alarm buzzer in favor of the traditional ringing bell alarm, and wraps it in a sleek and modern design. No, don’t worry, you won’t be needing to wind up this clock, the internal clock mechanism is battery powered.

Available Colors: Red, Black, White
Dimensions:  W94 x D64 x H97mm
One AA battery included.

Yep, this alarm clock will wake you up or put you to sleep with your own tunes plus charge your gadget all the while. You can also watch videos in landscape mode on your iPhone or iPod simply by rotating the iHome clock (though I don’t really know how a video would help you wake up). All this would mean nothing, of course, if it wasn’t nice to look at.

Nothing wrong with this clock*, in fact, everything looks just right.

This simple, easy-to-use alarm clock features large number displays, a backlight, snooze function, and 24-hour setting. When the alarm is set, large numbers display both the current time and the alarm time. The clock’s AM and PM indicators are visually distinct, and a lock on top prevents inadvertent changes in settings.

*Spoke too soon apparently, it’s backordered until beginning of August. Apologies.

What time is it? 4:20? No, silly, it’s actually 1:11pm…maybe. Though this has to be a little bit confusing to read at first, it looks super minimalist and high tech. Do you need that in a clock? Maybe.

Based on a simple, but effective block system arranged in four columns, with each block representing a single unit within its respective hour (split into two columns), minute and seconds columns its arguable that, whilst this device may seem initially to be a rather over-complicated means ascertaining the time, it is arguably rather easier to read than its traditional analogue counterpart. –nexus404

I love this alarm clock- it looks like something out of a science fiction movie, but in a very tame, nondescript sort of way.
