If you think you’ve seen a lot of amazing clocks in your life, well, here’s your chance to see some that are both remarkable and strange, but at the same time, very cool.
The skull and crossbones automaton clock has a mechanical moving jaw, and snakes that dart out of its eyeballs…
This clever clock from designer Wil Van Den Bos reverses the normal hands-move-round-the-face convention. The single hand stays still and the clock face is slowly spun through the gears at the top. The main gear is almost two feet wide, so the exposed clockworks up top should be pretty easy to see ticking away.
This amazing Fruit clock runs on food, just like you do! Indeed, potatoes, oranges, and bananas can be used to make enough electricity to power a digital display clock.
A symbol of the Geneva, Switzerland watch industry of world renown, the famous flower clock, located at the edge of the Jardin Anglais (English Garden), was created in 1955. It is a masterpiece of technology and floral art.
Designed by David Dear, this amazing looking desk clock is a perfect gift for the home or office. The upper cone representing minutes and the lower cone representing 12 hours. An embossed red line indicates the current time. The Hour Glass desk clock is beautifully made with metal top and base.
Amazing, limited edition Rolling Ball Clock invented by William Congreve and patented in 1808, reproduced by Comitti London.
