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
Though these clocks aren’t necessarily wind-powered ones, the overall design should be something catchy in homes. The 4th dimension clocks are made of hefty lowbrow materials and offer a distinguished piece with unexpected elegance.
They come complete with 12 cement-stacked and spiraled slices for its face and have a depth that makes this minimalist time piece worth its weight in concrete.
Here are some interesting clocks which set themselves automatically by tapping into the time signal broadcast from a cesium fountain atomic clock located in Boulder, Colorado. They are neat to have if you want to keep track of time while showering and they are also waterproof.
The suction cup on the back easily adheres to tile, glass or porcelain. Includes day of the week and alarm clock. They require 1 AA battery.
Price: $15.95

This clock from Seiko is not really a new creation but rather a re-issue. It was one of the first popular talking clocks back in 1984 and now the new version has added LED lighting and time, weather and temperature announcements.

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 star
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 b
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. The face looks garbled but once the need to tell the time comes, they form the actual time in digital display. The concept is great but unfortunately looks like a concept for now. 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.
Price: $14.99
