Home appliance alarm clocks
Sure, you can give your Mom this Home Appliance alarm clock for Mother’s Day…If you want to get smacked into next Wednesday. Listen son, your mom works hard every day. She’s got to clean up after your sorry butt, not to mention the rest of the family. Do you really think she wants to see yet another appliance that will remind her of all the work she still has to do?

Then again, if you really don’t care and she’s hard to shop for, go ahead and take the chance. The clock comes in a fridge, stove, iron, blender and washing machine. They’re priced at around $20 each. The washing machine shakes and shows a sudsy animation when it’s time to wake up. Oh, she’ll love that.

The Pole Dancer alarm clock
This Pole Dancer alarm clock will cost you some zzz’s in the morning, but it won’t cost you dollar bills. Experience a steamy show as soon as you open your eyes. You can pre-order it for £19.99 today, and on May 8 they will ship to single lonely men across the world.

She basically spins round and round with the typical cheesy stripper music playing in the background, so you’ll wake up. I would think that it might make you dream you were at a strip club, only to wake up to your disappointing alarm clock. That’s bound to wake you up pissed off and ready for your day… A day that includes tons of work and no strippers whatsoever…

Seeing Double Clock uses colors to show times

Posted in Clocks by Reuben Drake on March 2nd, 2008

Seeing Double Clock has hours and minutes in the same place, identified by colorsThis clock uses some small colored transparent windows to cancel out certain colors and show others through in order to display the time. Because of this the Seeing Double Clock is then able to display the minutes and hours in the same spot, which are only shown by the appropriate hand passing over them.

It’s kind of works the same as the old-style 3D glasses, except instead of you wearing them the hands of the clock do. If you’ve never learned to read a dial clock but want to make it look like you kinda’ can, then this is your answer. The Seeing Double Clock measures 16-inches in diameter and goes for about $50.

JVC dual iPod dock, clock radio

Posted in CES 2008, Clocks, Dock, JVC, iPod Accessories by Darrin Olson on January 8th, 2008

JVC NX-PN7 dual ipod dockWith so many iPod accessories on the market today it’s tough to make one stand out from the others, especially with clock radio docks. JVC is making an attempt to stand out this year and unveiling this clock radio at the Consumer Electronics Show which that docks not just one but two iPods, making it twice as good, right?

The JVC NX-PN7 dock features a clock and timer and we’re making an assumption that it has an alarm that will play music from the iPod, but JVC did not mention that specifically. It would also be nice if this clock radio was a dual alarm that would play a different iPod with the different alarm, but unfortunately there was no mention of that either.

Robot watch transforms into a desk clock

Robot watch transforms into a desk clock

This great looking and versatile robot watch serves a double duty as both a watch and a desk clock. Just remove him from the wristband and stand him up. That’s not all he does. It can also be used as a keychain time piece and even a necklace pendant. That’s alot of uses for one little robot. The arms are fully posable as well as his headgear. I think the best part about him is that he looks cool with the clock on his chest.

How much would you pay for this much coolness in one robot? You can get it for a surprising $40. Comes in Silver and Gold tone as well as a pewter color. All look equally nice.

Time Bomb alarm clock

Bomba Alarm Clock How’s this for a bedside alarm clock? The Bomba Alarm Clock is a timepiece that is meant to give one the impression that something is about to go boom, and in that regards we think that it succeeds. Designed by Wil van den Bos the clock measures 4″ x 8″ x 5″ and has a network of moving gears that will keep your eyes fixated on it. At nighttime the clock gives off a blue illumination that can be dimmed, intensified or switched off if you don’t want to keep yourself weirded out all night long. Put a couple of radiological symbols on it and voila, it looks like one of those atomic bombs from the movies…minus the big numbers of course. Price: $70.
