Clocks have become such a modern convenience, they are often appreciated best when they are a conversation piece on display for your enjoyment. So, if you are in the market for a clock, you might as well make the most of it.
The modern clock is so meticulous and sterile, I think many of you will enjoy something that is a little more… how should I say–rough around the edges. Something that appears to do a lot more work than it has to, which will somehow excuse you from doing as much… or so we like to think.
The Niceshop Retro Flip Down Clock is a hark back to another decade of modern marvels. And I would dare say this clock is still just as marvelous today, just more in a sense of art and intrigue.
A personal favorite of mine is the Classic Nixie Tube Clock, which combines the fantastic visual of yesteryear’s “tube” look, with the accuracy and efficiency of modern technology and LED. The tubes are also replaceable (if one happens to go out).
As clock’s go, these are about as cool as one can get.
