14 DAY TRIAL // Time passes by so quickly that it's sometimes quite hard to catch up with it. Thus, as we've just said good-bye to 2007 and we're welcoming the new year, it might be a good idea to check out a device whose main purpose is to tell the time, but it manages to do so in an extremely peculiar manner. So, without further ado, meet the 12 Hour AM/PM Time Cube presented by Chinavision, a time-piece whose design seems to be inspired from either the Stargate series or Star Trek's Borg.
This stylish desk clock is called a Time Cube and for good reason, as the conventional hands have been replaced by a rather unique time-telling system. Thus, a section of one of the corners has been divided into three separate rotating triangular slices that move around a central reference line. The triangular slices are numbered like a conventional clock, with the smallest slice functioning as a second hand.
The timepiece is operated via an internal gear, allows the users to adjust the time (well, d'oh!) and draws all the necessary power from just 1 AA battery. Furthermore, it won't really take that much space around the house, at it measures around 96 x 96 x 96 mm (could be quite a nifty addition to one's collection of SF paraphernalia, for example).
Despite the fact that we're dealing with a pretty interesting device here, there is one problem, though. Thus, the Time Cube is offered, at least for the time being, as a whole sale import item, for around 12 US dollars a pop (rather cheap, but don't forget, this thing is Chinese). Obviously, purchasing large quantities will drastically reduce the retail price, but you'll have to check with Chinavision for further info on the subject.
