A stylish wall clock that spells out the time for you.
The QlockTwo fourth-dimension squared clock has no hands and no numbers, but rather uses words in telling the time. It uses expressions such as “It is half past eight” or “It is a quarter to seven”.
Although it may look intentionally confusing, this classy German handmade clock has a quadratic matrix of illuminating letters that tells time in five minute intervals. QlockTwo also has a brightness sensor that automatically adjusts the illuminating power of the letters. The only downside is its price: around US$1500/HK$12,000.
Want it cheaper? You could opt to download the Qlock app for your iPhone or Android instead.
Yes, many of you could have probably used this BEFORE New Year’s Eve, but we’re sure there will be plenty more applications for this unique gadget in your future.
Though we’ve passed the 2010 countdown, another festive holiday is fast approaching us as we begin preparations to welcome the Year of the Tiger with a bit of wine and drink. We all know that the local constabulary monitors the roads, streets and highways for people who are “driving under the influence” but, unfortunately, sometimes alcohol impedes our judgment so we think we are fit to drive.
Thankfully, Ezio has developed a watch that can test your alcohol level at a push of a button. In less than thirty seconds, you can find out whether or not you’re fit to drive.
No, this is not an April Fool’s Joke. Keep reading…
As shiny as it is, you may wonder– how is this a watch? There’s no face! Maybe there’s a button you have to press to show the time. But then look again, there are no buttons! Well, look again– at its sides:
Aha! What a great way to hide time! It’s probably not the best way to hide the clock faces, but it’s still a very original idea. The Diesel DZ9044 has 2 clocks on each side of the watch, with a total of 4 clocks to keep time in 4 different time zones.
We don’t even know what to say about the Concord C1 Quantum gravity watch, is it to tell time or save the world from the Decepticons. It’s got tons of moving parts, transparent shell and an aerial bi-axial tourbillion mechanism. Every watch should have one of those. Starting at 500,000 swiss francs (approximately HK$3.5 million) this watch is truly a work of art.
Just recently launched at Baselworld 2009, you can read up on the development of the Quantum Gravity at the Concord blog here. Or have a look at the embedded video below:
