This clock is a bit too clever for its own good. It works by illuminating a number of squares in a grid to correspond with a digit in the time. It perhaps comes as a surprise to no one that we found it in SkyMall.

The color combos vary as a predetermined amount of time goes by (1, 4 or 60 seconds), leading us to imagine that the shorter increments would make the display blink like a computer readout from a 1960s sci-fi movie.
Not our bag, baby, but wow. $59.95 here.
12:39? this clock is hard.

this is crazily fun, but so impractical.

Why are there three squares in the first column? Is it ever going to be thirty o'clock? Obviously, this clock and I would not get along.

good conversation piece I guess, but I can't picture it in my home.

I can picture it now:
"What time is it, honey?"
"It's... 1...... 2........ 5........ 3?.... Twelve fifty three?? Twelve fifty three! I think."
Too complicated for my household.

That's the TIX clock and has been for sale for years at ThinkGeek for $49.99.
They have tones more funky clocks, too...

i've got the binary clock from think geek. if you want one that no one else is going to understand unless you explain it, it's the winner. however i love the patterns the blue leds make as they go through time. plus after awhile you can actually read it.

Wowie. Talk about a brain-shift. It would be so difficult to learn how to read this thing. Though, it would look pretty cool in this super sci-fi house, eh?

I know someone who has one of those, and it actually looks pretty cool. Tough to read though.

Technology run amok designed for people who get bored on airplanes so shop their way to their destinations.
