One look at it and you will be compelled to pick it up and wear it on your wrist, it’s probably because of the size of the dial. But, wait a minute. This one is a wood tabletop and desk clock and likes to go by the name TimeTable. Meant to be placed as your side table, this unique concept draws heavily from the wristwatch that was originally kept on the small little furniture unit in that place. We like it so far!

The TimeTale comes with an acrylic clock dial that is set within rosewood. A strong layer of functioning glass covers the table to protect the watch while providing a usable surface. This product stands comfy on a leather base that is reminiscent of the contours of a wristwatch strap.

It’s actually humanely impossible to keep track of the actual number of admiring glances that the new Atmos 566 Clock attracts. This amazing timepiece has been designed by the ‘oh so talented’ Marc Newson and the maker claims that it is nothing like any clocks out there. In fact, brand Jaeger-LeCoultre is quite gung-ho about the newest product being sold under its name.

We are told that the Atmos 566 runs on energy which is supplied by infinitely small successive changes in temperature. These are kept track of by the hermetically sealed capsule that contains a gaseous mixture, which initially is mercury but it later dilates when the temperature rises and contracts at the various drops.

Andy Kurovets is an amazing designer who has created the “Liquid Time!” concept watch. The clock can be turned upside right and it comes with two titles. With the idea of “From Nowhere to Nowhere” prevalent, it studies how the 5th dimension works. It comes with two LCD screens and thanks to some really clever typography, you could expect to have one of the most avant-garde watches/clocks in the world.

The watch/clock looks more like a person than a watch itself and you might be able to get one based on which colour you like. With so many watches being designed every day, it is not every day that you would find something as unique as this one. Andy Kurovets certainly knows what it takes to design something that is completely different.

There is something really annoying about having to get up and check the time every time you are sleeping, lest you got late. It not only is physically troublesome but you would also be afraid that if you didn’t check the time, you would end up getting screwed at your appointments. Realising this problem Florian Schärfer has designed the Melted Clock which lets you grope around the bed in your sleepy state and get the time.

All you would need to do is, find the haptic, touch sensitive alarm clock which comes integrated with speakers and the controls would be integrated in your sheets. The clock would be embedded into your bed and thus you would just need to move your hands here and there to find it and like you are reading Braille, you would just get to know what the time is.

Swedish designer Henrik Amberla is known for many things and most importantly it is his Milky Way alarm clock that walks away with all the trophies. Thanks to the turning motion, it triggers a snooze function and the other way around makes it turn on the alarm function or set the time.

It comes with an extremely smooth and sleek look and when you wonder why it has been named the Milky Way, the design makes it pretty apparent. It reflects the duality of life and also of the day. The day beginning to change into a night and the night turning into day is reflective of the way the Milky Way behaves too. With a design that mimics the Milky Way, you can even use the Milky Way Alarm Clock to encourage your space voyage dreams that may take you far beyond our solar system.

Since the creation of clocks, they have come a long way in both the working and design. You can pretty much find any type of clock that you could desire for these days. Whether you have a liking for glow in the dark Mickey Mouse watches like Robert Langdon or something studded with a filthy amount of diamonds, you can get it.

Those who have trouble reading the multiple hands of old-type watches can get over their embarrassment by opting for a digital clock that tells you the time in numbers, but how about getting yourself a clock that will actually read out the time for you. MAKE subscriber Doug was inspired to make himself the DIY Word Clock after he found one on the site and this clock could seriously make the dyslexic uncomfortable.

Okay, here is a question for you. How many types of clocks are known to man? Analog…digital and lexicon. Well, the answer is both right and wrong for there is yet another new piece of clock that sets about to change a couple of things. Dubbed QLOCKTWO (all capital letters, yeah), this one is fourth dimension squared. If you could not fathom that then let us tell you that this one is a timepiece that tells time in words.

A quadratic matrix of letters form this unique device and it is these letters that get illuminated with every passing minute. But the actual ime is displayed in-between 5 minute intervals. However, if you wish to know the EXACT time then you just have to look closely at the corner into the illuminated dots. Owing to its brightness sensor, QLOCKTWO automatically adjusts the illuminating power of the letters.

Brand Jaeger-LeCoultre has created a special timepiece, in a limited edition (of course), for luxury name Alfred Dunhill. Called the Atmos Regulator, this clock of sorts is rather an outstanding one. Formed in a black varnished casing, this one has a clear glass front. So far only 22 units are being made each with a black shelf-like base and tinted glass background hat comes complete with gorgeous art deco designs that come inspired from Dunhill’s lighters and cigarette cases of the 30s.

Black stingray leather lines the front of the inlaid shelf that we are talking about and is impressively exotic to complement brand Dunhill. The mechanism of the clock is a sensitive one being a 242-piece caliber-582 movement which has the ability to get powered even by small changes in temperature. Believe it or not, but a change of just one degree can make the clock run for 48 hours. In other words, the clock uses 250 times less energy than a classic wristwatch.

Cambridge has made another piece of history by launching an extraordinary clock by an extraordinary person at Christi College. Launched by Cambridge professor Stephen Hawking, this two million dollar wonder took seven years to be brought to life. The clock is designed by John Taylor, who has already made a reputation for creating bizarre time pieces. The philosophy behind this clock, in Taylor’s word is that “once a minute is gone you can’t get it back” and this is visualized in the form of a huge grasshopper that literally eats the minutes. The clock has the grasshopper with an open mouth, that keeps opening its mouth wide and when the minute is complete, it swallows the time and gulps it down!

The clock is to be placed outside the New Taylor Library, which has been named so after its maker.
