Here is an interesting clock that should wake you up on the right side of bed. Apparently the clock features the chirping sound of a Cicada, and comes with extra features that allow you to hook it up with other popular devices in the home.

The clock carries a modern to futuristic design, making it perfect for any type of home setting. The Cicadidae Clock was designed by Ryan Jongwoo Choi who included a Bluetooth dongle with the alarm clock which will allow owners to connect it to mobile phones, computers or even modern smart TVs.

It can be recharged using USB connectivity, providing the basic necessities that should really get you out of bed and start the day right.

Having a handy and reliable alarm clock may come in various forms and shapes but for kids who may want to spice up the clocks that wake them up when needed from deep slumber, the Ok to Wake! Children’s Alarm Clock should be a lush way to get out of bed.

For the people who love odd stuff, here is a cuckoo clock that should fit the bill. This is actually a project put up over at the National Museum of Singapore by the Little Thoughts Group which will be up until January, 2011.

This is actually a clock of memories where it recalls the designers time as a child in 1970’s Singapore, where the sounds of growing up are now instilled inside the clocks works. The number “5″ is mirrored in the clock’s face because the designer had some mishaps with the number.

The white wind-up key is held on with a magnet and can open the clock body from the side. Inside the clock, you will find the batteries and some nice shelves.

Daylight Savings Time is here again and people need to adjust again. This doesn’t only include setting your clocks to the new time frame but also conditioning your body clock to new sleeping habits where clocks will be adjusting to one hour in advance.

This takes place at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March each and every year, and then reverses on the first Sunday in November every year. Like it or not, you just have to do it. Unless you are in Hawaii or Arizona, you better start adjusting those clocks to make sure you don’t end up being late for an appointment or even for work.

Here is another wacky clock for you to put in your home. Though nothing much could be said to describe it, the Redundant Clock seems to be like any ordinary wall clock only that the numbers you would normally see to tell the time take the shape of how the clock would look for a particular hour.

Well that is an idea for you especially if you love to make use of weird looking clocks over the common ones.

The Analog Spiral Clocks are indeed something unique, making use of balls over the usual clock hands as its main design. The clock spins and moves the ball around through a spiral designed circle. Every twelve hours the ball disappears in a hole at the center.

The design and concept is great but for $545, I would rather settle for a traditional clock. Besides, it looks like it can hypnotize you without knowing what to do next!

Movietime Film Reel Clocks

The Movietime Film Reel Clock should be another unique item to have in a room. Like most DIY stuff, the body is from the usual movie film reels which have an embedded clock timepiece in the middle. Add some dots or numbers and then you get a virtually rare clock to have in your room.

The beauty of it is that you can make use of various film reels in different colors and designs. Now if you plan to make one, the question is where to get an old film reel that is not being used. Maybe someone over at eBay or Etsy could be selling some hard to find stuff for a cheap price.

The Switchital Clock

Here is one clock that will surely amaze you. Carrying a digital type of a display, it is not like the common clocks you see today.

Check out the video to see how this Switchital clock works. The clock was designed by Matthew Pugin.

It may look like a toy but it is really something that can be used, especially for the kids’ room. It takes the form of colorful and playful moldings that can certainly be mistaken for play things. But the clock is really spring powered and can operate for more than 8 hours. A word of caution though. This may pose as a choking hazard so be careful. Teach your children how to make clocks and have something colorful and useful to have around the home or room as well.

The important thing about clocks is you know where the clock hands are. In this case, you do see that and the clock hands act as highlights in this dimly faced Peek Clock that really stresses the numbers on the face of the clock. The clock hands have mini-circle like opening that shows the actual time when people need to see it. The background of the clock seems to be tinted in a way where only the actual time is seen. The clock costs $74 and should be ideal to really tell the exact time. This stylish clock can certainly be a great addition to the modern designed homes which normally have black and white themes.

This early, this Zebra Wall Clock seems to mystify and make me dizzy just by looking at the stripes design it comes with. A supposed great addition to any room, it should not be surprising if folks not familiar with the clock hands may find it difficult to tell the time. But then again it all takes getting used to so for fashionistas, it may be a minor problem in the first stages once they buy it.

This BRAND NEW wall clock measures 10 inches in diameter. It has a black plastic frame with a clear cover. Graphics are rich and vibrant and will last a lifetime. These clocks make a great accent to any room in your home or business. A perfect addition to your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, family room or anywhere. The clock has precision quartz movement and operates on 1 AA battery.

Cheap and reasonable. That is what best describes the Sony Dream Machine which is nothing like the fancy clocks we see in the market today. Besides, it only costs $20 so don’t expect too much perks.

The Sony Dream Machine ICF-C414 may be short on frills, but it’s a Sony and it’s $20, so you could do worse. Anyway, I have to admit there’s something I like about the way this thing combines a kind of cold, menacing design with the words “Dream Machine.” It’s like a Nihilist with a unicorn tattoo.

The Sony ICF-C414 Dream Machine alarm clock will be available starting in April 2009.

Here is another clock that is certainly going to be a great one for people who want some life in their rooms. Though it seems unlikely that you can be able to sleep due to laughter, it is a great addition to any room.

It is unfortunate that the googly eyes clock is only a concept because I believe this would sell like hotcakes. The left eyeball displays the hour while the right displays the minutes.

Sure, it is hard to read—but so are most of the clocks and watches coming out these days. Apparently, people like their time-telling challenging these days.

Here is a different type of clock that is suitable for people who can’t wait for the weekend to come. The weekend clock lets you know how much time it is to the weekend.

Yes, the Weekend Clock is pretty self explanatory. It’s a clock, you see, and it counts down to the weekend. You may think that having to look at the time slowly count away all week will just make the duration seem longer, and you may be right. But the question the manufacturer poses is this: what if you’re not? Think about it.

Nothing beats waking up to the sweet sound of nature. But not all of us are living in the usual countryside lifestyle. However, we can bring the country life to us in a technical way like the sound of chirping birds that can really get us up on the right side of bed.

Hopefully it will be plenty loud enough to pull you out of your sleep, but still not so loud that it’s just as obnoxious as the beeping of other clocks. On the bottom of the clock it has a normal analog clock. On the top is a little bird, then when it’s going off it not only chirps, but pulses and glows as well. The clock isn’t out just yet, since it’s a part of the brand new line of products. However, Perpetual Kid has already got it up on their site and they’re predicting it will be in mid-February.

Crime rates and trespassers have been a growing concern and for some people, buying firearms such as guns may not necessarily help in making them sleep better. The point is to have some form of protection in such emergency cases so as far as this is concerned, why not check out this 2-in-1 deal; a bedside table that can be also used as a bat and shield.

This certainly hits two issues with one blow. Bedside tables serve as usual room enhancers or places where you can put jewelry or your clocks. In times of emergencies, just grab the leg and use the table top and you can protect yourself from any intrusion that may occur.
