learn what time it is with karlsson’s book table clocks

We’ve already featured several quirky clocks from Karlsson, but these two designs grabbed my attention because they’re unique but still modest. Karlsson calls them table clocks, but I think they’ll be more at home on bookshelves.

Very nice, especially the use of book spines for the nine o’clock and three o’ clock positions. You can buy one of these at Amazon for $30 USD. But if you want a more sophisticated (i.e. boring) look, a black and white version is also available:

You can order the black and white book clock at moobarb for £19.53 (appx. $30 USD). So equip your place with a Karlsson book clock and get a +2 geekiness stat boost, although you might also get -6 in time-telling. But who cares if it’s 4:16 or 4:17 anyway?
