Wacky clocks and wristwatches have always been delightful presents for certain people who wanted to add a more interesting side to their everyday lives. Maybe the best known name in this industry is TokyoFlash; yet they're not the only ones who can come up with interesting and eye-catching time-keeping machines. Here's a new clock that's suitable for both tabletop-placement as well as hanging on a wall: the Color Pattern Clock.

 

Some weird watches are really hard to read and that's why they have such exclusive clients. The Color Pattern Clock is different: while retaining the same colorful and vivid aesthetics, this clock will be rather easy to read for most people.

 

The Color Pattern Clock can be the perfect addition in your bedroom and office alike. Thanks to its light display, this clock is also extremely readable in any lighting conditions, from complete darkness to the direct sunlight. And with the different colors it's hard to mistake your reading.

 

Behind the playful lights of the Color Pattern Clock, the operating principle is quite simple; there are 4 blocks of lights, with each telling you a number between 1 and 9. The first block has three lights, telling you the first number in the hour block and the AM/PM status. The second block sports 9 green lights telling you the second number in the hour block. The third block has 6 blue lights with each displaying every 10 minutes passed within the one hour interval. Finally, the last block, with 9 red lights, tells the minutes. And to see how simple this is, just take a look at the picture: it's 12:45.

 

This clock can be positioned horizontally on your desk or mantelpiece, but it can also be installed in a vertical position; the AC adapter is included but the lack of a battery-operation feature could be a setback. The update interval for the changing of the lights can be manually set for 1, 4 or 60 seconds, as you like. The box is made of brushed metal and you can have it for $59.95.
