Looking for something a little different to set on your bedside table? This new alarm clock tears apart the hours, minutes and seconds and places them on individual time-telling blocks.
Seiji’s LED block alarm clock are interconnected using ribbon cables with enough slack in them to let you stack them pretty much any way you like.
You can even arrange the blocks into a vertical configuration, instead of the more typical horizontal orientation.
While they do seem a little derivative of Jonas Damon’s Open Edition LED clock, they’re just different enough to stand on their own. That said, I still prefer the less garish single color segmented LEDs on Damon’s original versus the red, white and blue dot matrix displays on these ones.
For the time being, you’ll have to admire these from afar anyway, as they’re currently only available in Japan.

I have the ThinkGeek clock too, but I’d LOVE to switch out the front green “lenses” for the blue or red ones shown in the Japanese version. Any idea how I could go about getting those?
