I’m not sure if this clock design qualifies as “steampunk” or simply anachronistic, but it sure looks different than just about any timepiece I’ve ever seen.

With a whopping 128 bright LEDs on each digit, there’s no chance that you’ll miss the time on this clock.

Sporting a total of 768 individually addressable amber LEDs, each one of the numbers slides into and out of view as the hours, minutes and seconds tick away…

This October, UK toy maker Wesco Limited will release these tabletop R2-D2 alarm clocks…

The Around About Clock turns all that you know about normal clocks on its head- er, side. Instead of hands going around a static clock face, these numbers rotate clockwise behind a static hand.
