If you love Champagne, then check out the Moet Bottle Clock that was made from a real Moet Champagne bottle. The bottle has been heated to melting point and flattened to create a flat bottle shape. The labels have been re-applied to make it appear as if the bottle has been squashed flat. The Moet Bottle Clock measures 315mm x 145mm x 40mm and is available in 2 different color versions including standard Brut Imperial (yellow label), or Rosé Imperial (pink label). [Drink Stuff]

This amazing wall clock can display intricate animations thanks to the optical phenomenon known as persistence of vision (POV). Using a small spinning “blade” covered in red, green and blue LEDs, along with sophisticated microcontroller circuit, this clock can dynamically change its look with just the push of a button.
The clock comes with a wireless remote that lets you flip between a variety of different display modes, including traditional clocks, modern digitals, 3D animations, and even a Pac-Man mode. And with the optional upload module, you can load your own custom animations onto the clock face.

The latest version of the clock offers a significant upgrade over the original 2-color version, adding a full RGB display and enhanced animation capabilities. It can even do real time math to convert square pixel graphics into the cartesian coordinates needed to display along the blade’s circular path.
The RGB POV Clock should be available from Innovative Device by the end of the year.

Moshi has rolled out its new interactive voice responsive clock ‘Moshi IVR Alarm Clock’ the first touch free clock that can set both time and alarm by voice. Consumers are now able to control their clock through spoken commands using the latest Interactive Voice Recognition Technology. The user can initiate commands by saying “Hello Moshi”,” and the clock will respond with, “Command Please.” Utilizing the Interactive Voice Recognition technology, you can ask the Moshi to do quite a number of things, like ask it to tell time, the temperature of the room, the current date, or even to change its lighting for night time, and so on. And of course, you can ask it to set or turn off the alarm without having to move your hands or even open your eyes. This quite impressive device will cost you $50. [Moshi]

When I first spotted this dot-matrix numbers on this clock I thought it was a modern-day blue LED display. But lurking beneath the surface of this timepiece is something far more interesting.
What we actually have here is a very rare Russian relic from the early 1980s. The Elektronika-7 (Электроника-7) clock was built using vacuum tubes, not LEDs to drive its unique bluish-green display.
The old industrial clock uses 16 segmented tubular vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs) to form its digits.
This extreme rarity can be yours if you manage to score the winning bid in the next few hours (currently at $150 plus shipping). Check out the auction over on eBay for more details.

This over-the-top wall clock has way more gears than it really needs - but it’ll definitely draw stares from anyone who tries to tell time with it.
Homeloo’s Jumbo Gear Clock has not 2, 3 or even 10 gears. Nope, it’s got an more than 50 gears - each and every one of them exposed on the surface of the clock for everyone to see. Check out the video below to see all the gears in action:

The clock measures in at 16″ in diameter, and it takes 4 D-cell batteries to keep the entire mechanism turning.
The Jumbo Gear Clock is available from Homeloo for $78 USD.

Just when you thought it was safe here comes yet another wacky clock. A very boxy and not swell to look at clock. This one is a lot like the Coin Lamp, in that it is a money hungry device. This Money-Saving BanClock makes you insert a coin of any value or currency before it will shut up. I think that’s called extortion. This clock/bank will hold about $25 before it needs to be emptied.
You’ll need a supply of coins by the clock so you can shut it up without punching a hole in it. What’s with these savings devices though? It used to be that people were disciplined enough to save on their own without a device encouraging them.

Nixie clocks may be the best way to keep time that man has invented. So when you combine the Nixie clock with a table, the results are surely awesome right? Yes and no. The tubes look great on the antique table, the problem is that it is a very small table that will fit on a desk. What we need is to up the tube size and up the table size. Maybe make it mantle size to put on your fireplace mantle. Somebody needs to get on this right away.The nixie clock needs to go giant, and now! How about a giant nixie clock on a building? On top of a stadium. Yes, let’s go bigger people.
