biegert + funk: qlocktwo

'qlocktwo'
'qlocktwo', created by german product design studio biegert & funk, is a clock that tells
time in words. it has a quadratic matrix of letter. some of these characters glow in pure
white, thus, forming words that describe the time in five minute intervals. for more
accurate timing, users can look at the illuminated dots in the corner which show individual
minutes. with the help of its built in brightness sensor, the illuminating power of the letters
are automatically adjusted.

450mm x 450mm x 20 mm

I've seen very similar stuff popping out recently. Art Lebedev did something similar. Gehry watch owns is original idea. This is still good work but I wouldn't call it creative.

where can i get one?
ematt 05.24.10
i like it very much but its not original, similar ideas have been around for long time. I wouldnt pay 800 but i might pay 100. Simple, clean and and amusing, if not the most efficient way to tell time, it still gets an "A." Well done.
