It’s been fairly chilly here the past few days, so I figured this post image was appropriate.
As for the title of the blog.. I have this obsession with stylish and/or nerdy clocks.. Here are some examples..
Nixie Concrete Clock
If WWII/Cold War crap interests you, then this clock will fill your heart and empty your wallet. This clock (read as 10:23:54) is a combination of vintage Z560M Nixie tubes that are embedded in a clunky block of concrete. Incredible vintage design and quality construction. Although this is just a one-off concept, the creator, Daniel Kurth, is considering production possibilities. More info here.
QLOCKTWO
Because I’m too lazy to read and decypher numbers on a normal clock, QLOCKTWO tells me the time in plain ol’ English (or German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish or French). Now, it’s not as accurate as most other clocks, as it’s missing minutes and seconds, but if you’re into obscure time-telling, head on over to QLOCKTWO and pick this baby up. Keep in mind, it’ll run you a cool € 885, plus a hefty shipping fee for the kraut’s to get it to your doorstep.
Average Day
Now here’s a gem if you hate to be tied down by numbers while on the go. The Average Day watch by Mr. Jones Watches really transforms the conventional watch into “units of median daily routine.” The outer loop of the watch represents the AM hours, and the inner loop, the PM hours. Although I’m not to partial on the black and baby blue wrist straps, the the constant reminder of what I should be doing with my time more than makes up for it. Get yours now for only $165 (ish) at Mr. Jones Watches.
