The WITness Watch combines old and new technology

July 26th, 2009 by Ally in Cool Clocks

witness-watch-with-sundial-on-display

Here’s an odd concept design for those of you that can’t stand to carry around a normal watch.  It may look like an extremely modern watch, but it takes a design cue from much older technology.  It’s meant to resemble the very old sun dials.  Something that most people couldn’t read now to save their life, even if some do use them for decorative purposes out in the garden.  For those of you that can’t read a sun dial, you might want to start practicing before you seek something like this out.

The Sony Dream Machine Spy Camera

July 24th, 2009 by Ally in Cool Clocks, Spy Stuff

sony-dreammachine

There are all different types of products that hide little cameras within them.  Some are as small as keychains and others slightly larger objects like tissue boxes or other random items.  Some of which if inspected very closely at all, someone would notice that something wasn’t quite right.  Well this Sony Dream Machine Camera might actually keep people plenty fooled.  It’s already an electronic, so having a lot of buttons isn’t something that’s out of the ordinary.

The Memo Clock reminds you of important events

July 22nd, 2009 by Ally in Conceptual Gadgets, Cool Clocks

memo_clock

I always appreciate the awesome designs that are completely mind blowing.  However, sometimes it’s nice to show a little appreciation for the simpler designs.  After all, they are the ones you’re more likely to see hitting the stores and making your day to day life a little bit more convenient on a regular basis.  Yes, the over the top designs have their purpose, but so do the everyday ones.  This clock definitely falls under the simpler designs, but it would make things a little easier.  Hang it on the wall and then you can write down quick notes for you or your loved ones.

The Twilight Watch

July 17th, 2009 by Ally in Cool Clocks

twilight-watch_1

Don’t worry, the Twilight Watch isn’t some watch for all the fans of the movie Twilight.  No, this watch is about the actual twilight, you know, like the time of the day or rather night in this case.  It’s an interesting watch that is meant to remind you of the miracle that is the sunrise.  Plus it’s made to be a little extra durable, for those that have the tendency to drop their watch in water or just forget to take it off before jumping into a pool.

Bang & Olufsen BeoTime alarm clock

July 16th, 2009 by Edwin in Cool Clocks, Home Gadgets

beotime

Some companies just seem to have the Midas touch when it comes to creating products that might not have the full works when it comes to functionality, but they definitely don’t lack in design, that’s for sure. Among such notable names include Apple and Bang & Olufsen, where the latter is whom we’ll concentrate on today. They’re famous for their range of beautiful home theater and audio devices, although they’ve taken a rather unorthodox route this time round with the new BeoTime alarm clock that is not only stylish but functional (hopefully more so than some of their home theater sets). It works best in homes that already have existing Bang & Olufsen systems in order to maximize its potential, since it is able to masquerade as a control in certain situations apart from helping you get out of bed. Can’t really fault the design as this is the first alarm clock I’ve seen that makes me actually want to wake up so that I can admire its beauty, although that novelty ought to wear out in a couple of days.

Sphere Alarm Clock with the sounds of nature

July 14th, 2009 by Ally in Cool Clocks, Home Gadgets

sphere-clock_lgtwf_1292

Nature is a beautiful thing, so I suppose it’s understandable that some people might want to rise every morning to those sounds as opposed to the extremely loud beeping noise that you usually hear.  This sphere alarm clock may look like absolutely nothing you’d find in nature, but it does actually play nature sounds.  It does all of that while giving off some color changing lighting too.

Black and White Clock

July 13th, 2009 by Mark R in Conceptual Gadgets, Cool Clocks

black-white-clockLet me start by saying that I was amazed at the many numbers of comments that we had at the Wrist Watch Tattoo. Several of them said that telling time with an ever-changing digital tattoo on the wrist was a pure hoax, but some were believers.

I recently discovered another way of telling time with some ever changing digits, but this is designed for the wall. The Black & White clock features four separate OLED digits, each of them are on individual power.

Let your Fingers Need the Waking

July 3rd, 2009 by Mark R in Cool Clocks

finger-dance-alarm-clockI’m sure anyone reading this blog has played Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). I’m sure that anyone who has played this game has discovered that it is not as easy as it looks, and moving feet to the beat can wear you out. No wonder why the arcade version of the game has guardrails!

I’ve seen a finger-sized version of DDR before, and generally designed as a USB-powered excuse for fidgeting. This would be the first time I have ever seen a finger-sized DDR attached to an alarm clock.

This is the type of alarm clock that gets your mind in “wake” mode by letting your fingers do the dancing. Yes, that alarm clock will simply not shut up unless your fingers touch the right lights.
