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.

There is no information yet about the price and availability as it is still a concept. However, it would be amazing if some bedding company realizes this need and demand in the market and launches something cool as this. Moreover, your bed would look cool and chic and it would turn your bedroom into a post modern living space.

Fashionistas appreciate the asymmetric diamond layouts in their watches. That assured, they will definitely fall for the one attempted by Montblanc. Come January and the watch world will witness the all new Star Pluie d’Etoiles luxury watch for women. And from the looks of it, one can safely expect something truly extraordinary. The design is such that the case and the dial work in synergy for an overall harmonious effect.

The frame holding the watch has been made from 18 carat white gold and is 36mm wide. Several baguette cut diamonds line the bezel on the outside while the inside has been done up with what looks like to be round cut diamonds. And mind you, all of these 298 dimonds are top Wesselton.

As for the dial, black Tahitian mother-of-pearl has been used to craft it. It also bears an engraving of the Montblanc star ‘falling’ with diamonds. The movement is in sync with the Swiss ETA automatic. The signature Montblanc “12″ stands out. With it’s stylish alligator strap, this one makes for a chic winter watch for the fashionable ladies out there.

If you are the kind of person who is looking for a cool clock to keep you aware of the time during these cold and dark and gloomy months, you must perhaps think about buying this cool Chumby One alarm clock. To say that it is just an alarm clock would be an understatement as it is comes with more than 1200 applications which can be used when it is co0nnected to Internet.

The Chumby One alarm clock costs $100 and this is a big reduction in price when compared to the $200 original Chumby. Thanks to Wi-fi you can check your Twitter account, update your Facebook, and send email and do thousands of things. It even gives you the much needed weather report and snow fall warnings, just in case you plan to set out for a walk during the afternoon.

You could even connect it to an iPod Nano using the USB port. You could also connect to many radio stations such as Pandora and listen to music. While I could go on for pages about all the thousands of things it can do, let me cut it short and say that the Chumby One alarm clock does thousands of things thanks to Internet and 1200 applications specially designed for it. Go and get yours today!

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.

There is no information about the price or availability but I must say it is a pretty cool design and when it is available a lot of people would love to buy it. I am wondering if it should also come in other colours apart from the eponymous milky colour. It would be interesting to see a black Milky Way alarm clock. Wouldn’t it be?

And we though all sorts of diamond watches had already been made. Well, almost! Brand Century has come up with a very unique way to do the unexpected. It has come up with a very graceful use of synthetic sapphire crystals that it is known for. Close to 341 diamonds along with nine of these large and clear sapphire crystals have been cast in 18 carat white gold to create the spectacular Century Grace Watch.

As far as the dial goes, it too bears the gentle kiss of the sapphire crystals. This has been cut and polished in hand to complement the 164 baguette cut diamonds on the case. There are dauphine watch hands to mirror the dial.

One look inside the mechanism, and you can easily spot the quartz movement which works quite well for the art deco angularity of the watch. The bracelet strap has been made in 18 carat white gold and sports eight more Century sapphire crystals. We do realise that Century is quite a big name in the Asian markets (Japan and India to be specific). It’s just a matter of time that it will become popular in the west too. Let’s wait and watch.

The forthcoming 35th anniversary sale from Antiquorum is what the watch collectors and connoisseurs are looking forward to. This event will be held for two days on 14th and 15th of November in Geneva itself. Well, it’s not just the reduced rates but also the exquisite watch pieces which will go on display that is creating all the buzz. We are told that the famous shop brand has decided to keep the most exceptional timepieces aside to mark its special moment.

And the highlight of the sale will be the Calibre 89 timepiece that belongs to the esteemed Matsuda collection, and is designed by none other than Patek Phillipe himself. In fact, this watch is already being touted as the most complicated time teller in the history of the world with not one or two but a sum total of 33 complications!

So far only four models of this intricate timepiece have been created, each in yellow, pink and white gold and one in platinum. We are not told as to which one will it specifically be at the sale in question. But we do have a strong feeling about the same watch, a Calibre 89 cast in yellow gold that Antiquorum sold in 1989. Well as of now, the price range has been estimated between $4,422,430-$ 5,405,574.

If you are the kind of person who would travel a lot and would need to be alerted every time you are somewhere important, you might have to readjust your time again and again, and also readjust the alarm based on the local time.

Now that is one hell of a job isn’t it? You might as well purchase this cool watch unveiled by Zenith. It comes with 41 jewels and is called eloquently, El Primero. It comes with world timers and you could adjust the time to the city you are in and it looks like the globe as well. At one end of the clock is the American Cities and at the other end are the Asian cities.

It comes with an alarm complication, chronograph, bog date, power reserve indicator and also the much needed world timer alarm clock. This is so confusing yet so beautiful and thus brings back that great philosopher’s quote “incomprehensible remains incomprehensible” to our minds. You could contact the company and get the watch for yourself, and it also looks really good. In my opinion, it is one of the most stylish watches ever.

What could be better than an expensive and luxurious Horological Machine? Well, what would actually be better than that is actually buying one for us. Here is a luxurious Horological machine that is manufactured by MB&F and is called the Horological Machine 2.

This cool machine is a watch engineering tour de force and comes housed in a fingerprint resistant PVD coated titanium enclosure. It is also soft to touch and comes with moon phase, retrograde date, and instantaneous jumping hour. This is a rather expensive machine and hence the prices are not revealed.

If you are still interested in buying and price doesn’t matter to you, you could contact the manufacturers and ask for a price request. Meanwhile, I could be satisfied with the stylish looks of the horological Machine 2 and would look at it from afar. There is something really weird about having a lot of money. You never have to think twice about spending it, and that is what makes having a lot of money very appealing and scary at the same time. So go ahead and get one for yourself.
