This is quite an intriguing gadget for me; if for no other reason than I can’t figure out how the hell it works!

When I wake up too early on a working day my mind goes through a series of checks. The first questions would be; “What time is it and how long do I have before I have set off to work?” The next question is usually; “What’s the weather like outside?”

I have a digital clock in the bedroom, but I can’t find out the time without switching on a lamp – and I certainly can’t be certain about the weather without leaving a deliciously warm bed and opening the curtains.

Now there’s a projection clock with a built-in weather station that projects the time and outside temperature on the ceiling.

We’ve already had sticky measuring tape now we’ve found some timer measuring tape. Simply pull the tape out the distance you want to time and leave go.

The tape will then retract in direct measurement of the time, when the time is up it goes ping with a ring. A simple and different way of timing your eggs in the morning.

If you’re sick of people asking you the time, broadcast it from your chest with the LED Clock T-Shirt.

Not much else to say about this really, it takes 4 x AAA batteries (seems some what excessive) and err, well tells the time.

If you are like me, you’re always on the lookout for new and exciting timepieces to fill your small, yet perfectly appointed home. Here’s one of my recent favourites – the Hour Glass Clock. Unlike many modern clocks, the Hour Glass clock can comfortably double as a conversation point.

What’s so interesting about this clock? Well, first off it’s got that legendary hour-glass figure – a modern twist on a design classic. But more compelling is the fact that both the top and bottom parts rotate about the central axis at different speeds, so as to accurating measure the passage of time. Spend hours of fun, rapt to the delights of this rotating clock.

The Hour Glass Clock is available from Gadgets.co.uk for a mere £24.99.

This is one uncomfortable looking alarm clock, instead of being woken from your slumber with sound or light this nasty Japanese gadget alarm contorts your spine.

This is another alarm clock and weather gadget; but with a little bit extra.

Do you ever wake up in the morning not sure if you can face the day ahead? I mean those days when you could be swung either way by the weather, but don’t want to get out of bed to check the curtains. Well this graphical weather forecaster is just what you need.

This is a cool looking gadget from Aurora. It’s a clock that changes colour every hour, on the hour, to help soothe those sleepless nights. In fact I could well imagine myself staying awake the whole night waiting for the next colour change!

The attractive-looking translucent alarm clock comes with twelve different colours, each bringing a warm glow to the bedroom. The makers guarantee that at least one of the colours will match the décor of your room for an hour a day! If you get bored waiting for the next colour change, you can switch to demo mode to speed up the process, and you can even switch the light off, but I can’t think I’d ever want to do that.



The 8 x 8 x 8 cm clock uses a standard mains adaptor or can run on 4 AAA batteries if you want to take with you when you’re away from home and can’t relax. Interestingly the clock functions at temperatures as low as -26C (-32F) though I have to say that even my fascination with this gadget would probably wither as the temperature crept to 30 degrees below freezing. But I guess it might be re-assuring to know that the alarm would still wake me up the next morning – assuming I lived to see the dawn break.

The glowing, ambient clock retails at £15 ($26) and, perhaps not surprisingly, is sold out at the present time. You can still place an order though; the next delivery is expected for April 8th.
