Clocky alarm clock

A clock that runs away! Trust me I could have used this in college; was a royal pain to get out of bed. So basically, this alarm clock will tumble off the table and roll away so that you have to get out of bed to chase it around. Just brilliant.

I love clocks and watches that make you look at them for more than just checking out the time. This clock does it and does so extremely well.

Alessi Ciclo Watch

If you are not the Swatch type and have secretly wanted to out-Swatch your friends you might want to consider the Alessi Ciclo watch. Minimal but loud, we feel that it has that potent mix of cool and pop-funky. The white lines indicate hours at those positions.

KnoWhere You & Me Clock

Hey, here is something I can really use! A cute clock to track where everyone (okay, a few of the) people that I care about. The concept is as simple as it is cool; the “you” and “me” hands are for, er, you and your significant other (whatever or whoever that is) and the other blank hands can be written on track more people and places. There are two other version of the clock but this one is our favorite.

Lella and Massimo Vignelli dual-time watch

Can’t tell one time zone from another? Here is one fab way to help you out. The Vignelli dual-time watch has generated a lot of buzz on and off the net. I absolutely love the thinking; two side by side watch faces for two different time zones. Massimo Vignelli is, of course, a renowned designer and I like his emphasis on graphic design for industrial work. Anyway, the watch in question is Swiss made and comes with a 2 year warranty.

On Sale: Lexon Soundstation by Matali Crasset & Philippe Starck

How about waking up to a Starck? This FM alarm clock radio with digital display can certainly wake you up in style. While not the only cool such gadget around, I love the oversized speaker and the mind that thinks about making the speaker the main focal point. The only issue I see is that of practicality. I would like to be able to see the time but since I would most certainly keep the speaker facing out, it would require picking up and rotating the piece to check out the time. If you, however, are the type who sets an alarm and is ready to go when it rings, you will be just fine.

Nooka Mirrored Zot V2 Watch 4

Watches are such curious things now. I mean, you don’t really need one to know the time (not unless you live on the top of a mountain in Congo) what with all the cell phones and computers around. But as accessories go, especially for men, these things still matter. This Nooka watch has dots that represent hours, bar for showing the minutes and digital window that toggles between seconds and the date. Not only that, it is waterproof, backlit and comes with a timer and alarm. Just the thing to take on the next safari!

Sebastian Wrong font clock (finally!)

What we mean by finally is that finally someone has done something other than just change the package of the clock to make it unusual. If you like all things type (seems like the whole world does these days), well this is one sweet clock for you. Gotta love it. It is a tad expensive but hey, with its random use of the 12 built-in fonts, it will keep you checking time for ever!

PRICE: £550 (small, without the date, is £195)
