Truly, this model of clock would loosen the weight of your wallet but I can help being occupied with its atypical design and cute minuscule figures. And above all the philosophical statement on life attached to it i.e. Man’s tough struggle against the time is suffice to restrain anyone’s attention. Designed and developed by artists Malcom and Mary Ann Owen, it is a perfect fun for those in a habit of clock watching.

Created using copper, brass and silver, its teeny tiny figurines push the weights in order to turn back time. It aims to be teaching a clear lesson that you shouldn’t bother about the clock, as beating it is impossible, so enjoy whatever time you have.

Price: $450

Those who have little infants at their home must be looking for ways to pamper them. And here is one that can blindly be picked if you have some rich budget to spill over. Called Orbit Travel Systems, it was love at first sight for me. What enabled me to ink a deal with it was it’s at a baby boutique, where it got sold immediately. Designed by Stanford graduates Bryan White and Joseph Hei, it is the result of the rumor thought (a wife expected her hubby to get her the travel system that she can easily carry up their stairs, by herself, with one hand), and keeping that in mind Orbit was born.

This comfy, safest and most expedient travel system available in the market is retailed at $900. Its unique rotate enables the car seat part to load it from any angle and safety is assured via its locking feature. Whilst it’s used as a stroller, you baby can enjoy a ride over it. Unlike other strollers, the Orbit pushes and is appealingly cute and light.

Till date we have been welcoming futuristic creation of homes by various designers. How about lending attention to Microsoft’s reflection of the “Home of the Future”? A software company took it as an opportunity to create a mock home that fits well the title of technology-driven home for tomorrow. The home erected at their campus in Redmond, Washington is now 15 years old but the topical restoration sports Microsoft’s prophecy of how household electronics and amenities should look and can look in coming years.

Through the mock model, it has been clearly conveyed that everything in this home runs on a central network together with cell phones and even home’s doorbell located as nodes on that network. The entry of family members to the home is easily identified by their mobile devices and hence they receive a warm welcome. Equipped with the RFID factor, virtually everything in this home is embedded with radio-frequency-identification technology. There is also a possibility of installing a system, which understands the need for scattered things to go back where it belongs. At kitchen front, while pulling out the needed appliances and ingredients, the “smart kitchen” can sense what they are about to make and hence helps them by enabling the countertop display the recipe.

But this is not all. In order to maintain its exclusivity, Microsoft’s future home does not consist of walls and surfaces covered with PC monitors and screens.

Geeks like a geeky touch in every single product that is a part of their day-to-day lifestyle. And besides riding in the company of unique gadgets and workstation being surrounded by feature-packed accessories, a nerd would feel blessed to take his meal on a Pong dinner table. The table is holding a great reverence to all gadget lovers and in a way is paying a tribute to the video game that revolutionized the gaming industry long back. Thanks to designer Moritz Waldemeyer, who has designed this Corian table by embedding it with 2,400 LED lights plus quite a few trackpads, thereby giving this 1972 Atari game a contemporary appeal. For sure, the price attached would be a single digit followed by a few zeros.
