Magnet Clock helps you keep track of your day

September 10th, 2009 by Ally in Conceptual Gadgets, Cool Clocks, Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

Magnet-Clock

Everyone has things that they enjoy putting on the fridge.  Be it school pictures or just random funny magnets, we all have our preferences.  Well with this you could even have a clock on your fridge that you can map out your day with.  It doesn’t itemize every little thing, but it does have little stick figure men that will illustrate each task you have ahead of you.  It does so in such a humorous way that even the most obnoxious tasks will give you a little laugh.

Roll Film Clock

September 8th, 2009 by Edwin in Cool Clocks

roll-film

Digital cameras are all the rage these days, and very rarely will you find anyone who would settle for an analog unless they’re from an artsy background or are a professional who wants the warmth of traditional film. The Roll Film Clock doesn’t capture any photos, but it does display the current time including hour, minute, second, date, month and year. Perfect for a unique and innovative home warming gift, the Roll Film Clock won’t really come cheap as it retails for $62 each.

Celebrate Spongebob Squarepant’s 10th Anniversary with Nooka’s Watches

September 3rd, 2009 by Mark R in Cool Clocks

nooka_spongebob2If you have kids that are under the age of seven, then I’m sure you are quite familiar with SpongeBob Squarepants.

The man who lives in a pineapple under the sea celebrates his 10th anniversary this year, and if you missed the SpongeBob SpongeBash celebration on Nickelodeon, then you can get the SpongeBob themed watches from Nooka (not to be confused with a big cell phone company from Finland).

Yeah. That’s what you’re looking at in the photo there. I’m sure you’re probably thinking: “shouldn’t you put, I don’t know, SpongeBob on your SpongeBob watches?”

Traffic Light Alarm Clock

September 3rd, 2009 by Mark R in Cool Clocks, Toys

traffic_light_clockMan, I had a difficult time getting up this morning, and just had to sleep in. Something tells me I would have been completely awake if I had the Traffic Alarm Clock.

Yeah, we have reported on many strange alarm clocks at Coolest Gadgets, and has the startle factor of the Lifetone Bedside Fire Alarm Clock. However, this is the first alarm clock that I have seen with a 40mm speaker to wake the user up.

The user gets to choose between four sounds, and one of them is traffic noise. I’m not certain what the ones who live near traffic are going to do, because they are probably used to it by now.

Tube Clock Kit lets you build it yourself

September 2nd, 2009 by Ally in Cool Clocks, DIY Gadgets

tube-clock-kit_1

There’s never a shortage of odd clocks on the internet.  Yet, how many of those can you have a hand in the constructing process?  Well this Ice Tube Clock gives you the opportunity to have a lot more involvement in the process of creating the clock.  Instead of putting in your order and getting a shiny new clock all put together.  You’ll pay money to order a clock you have to put together yourself.  Which might appeal to those of you that like to learn what makes your clock work.

Recycled Fishcer Turntable Clock

August 31st, 2009 by Ally in Cool Clocks, Home Gadgets

recycled-turntable-clock_1

If you have a thing for old turntables, but at the same time don’t really have a use for one, it seems silly to keep a real turntable around.  Well instead of keeping one around purely because you like the look of them, you could purchase this clock.  It’s made out of an old turntable, so you get that classic look, but it’s still functional.  Plus you can hang it on the wall and you haven’t lost any space on a table top within your home.

TV Alarm Clock looks cute

August 27th, 2009 by Edwin in Cool Clocks

tv-alarm-clock

We’ve seen plenty of alarm clocks in the past, and here’s yet another model that will surely put a smile on your face simply because of its cuteness factor. The TV Alarm Clock will be able to brighten up just about any bedroom, and even boasts its very own remote control that allows one to activate the mood light from afar. You can choose from a quartet of wake-up tunes – definitely infinitely less compared to what your cellphone offers, but at least they’re much easier on the ears compared to the shrill ringing of most traditional alarm clocks. The TV Alarm Clock requires three AAA batteries to run and will retail for £19.99 a pop.

Talking Teaching Alarm Clock

August 22nd, 2009 by Edwin in Cool Clocks, Electronic Gadgets

talking-clockNice to see gadgets being used to delegate teaching our kids stuff, including telling the time. Guess robot nannys aren’t really too far-fetched to consider, eh? Hammacher’s Talking Teaching Alarm Clock is another device that picked up the Product of the Year Award from Creative Child Magazine, where it will whip your little ones into shape verbally where telling the current time is concerned.

The clock displays a random analog time on a high-contrast LCD and asks, “What time is it?” in a clear female voice. Children can check their answers by pressing a button that prompts the clock to speak the correct time and display the digital equivalent. The clock is preprogrammed with five levels of difficulty, beginning with only round hours (three o’clock) and progressing to more difficult-to-learn times. Times can also be entered manually, allowing you to customize lessons. You can set the clock face to turn green at a specific time in the morning, signaling to a child that it is okay to get out of bed. The clock has a working alarm, 10-minute snooze function, and a night-light.

You can opt for it to be powered by either AC or a couple of AAA batteries. It retails for $49.95 a pop, and is a great way to introduce your kids to the wonderful world of the snooze alarm concept – something they might regret in the future as they snooze past their working time.
