The Concrete Clock tells you time created by designer Daniel Kurth, featuring a set of six vintage Z560M Nixie tubes embedded in a fairly hefty block of concrete. The time in below photo is 10:28:09.

Catena Wall Clock Tells Time With Bike Chain

Here’s an unusual concept for a wall clock. Instead of telling the time with hands or a digital display, the Catena clock tells time along the perimeter of a bicycle chain. Designed by Andreas Dober for Germany’s Anthologie Quartett, the Catena (Latin for “chain”) has a certain retro-steampunk look about it. Time is told using copper digits mounted on the outside of a bike chain that rotates around a single motorized gear. Now don’t bother trying to tell the exact time with this. The only numbers on the chain are the hours, so any attempt to figure out minutes is a crap-shoot.

Small and interesting objects are used to add some color, or to make a boring place a little bit more interesting. This is what Sequoia-studio, a product design agency based in Hong Kong wants to share with anyone. “Gelule” is a bedroom clock radio with a simple and smooth shape. It has a backlit LCD display and an omni-directional speaker. A choice of several colors of cloth for the speaker is proposed, fitting with the color of the LCD display. The adjustment of the volume is done by rotation of the speaker.
