1. Wooden Block Magic LED Desk ClockWant a clock with a difference? The secret of the digital display is only revealed through the wood once connected to the mains. It is said that famed artist Michelangelo would look at a piece of stone or wood and see what he was going to sculpt hidden inside. Just like old Mikie, now you too can see into the heart of a chunk of tree. The Wooden LED clock is a marvel of simplistic design. Until you plug it in, it looks like a pretty carved piece of wood. Power it up, and the time glows from inside! Now that's cool. [

2. Time Flies Clock
"Time Flies" are a random congregation of domestic pests who organize themselves in a way which makes them useful by demarcating the twelve numbers of the clock. [Source]
3. Space Age Elegance Time Sphere Clock White
Gideon Dagan's clock captures the essence of pure, minimalist design. A seemingly gravity-defying ball travels around the dial to mark the time, creating an eye-catching illusion. There are too many clock gadgets on the market already, but this one's pretty unique. There's no pointer, just a gravity-defying red ball that presumably is magnetic and follows a magnetic rotor underneath the dial. [Source]
4. Just a Moment Clock

10. Rnd_time Infinite Wall Clock
The most unusual feature of this clock lies in its entirely random application to the wall, hence the name “rnd_time”, where “rnd” is used to indicate the random factor. Each cube is made in nylon plastic, one cube for each hour, another to house the clock hands and battery. [Source]
11. Digimech Clock
Numbers are printed on vertical sliders and only reveal themselves when shifted into perfect alignment with the ‘display box’. When not aligned they look like random, alien forms. [Source]

15. Honorable Mention - Drill Sergeant Alarm Clock
This alarm clock doesn't come with a built-in MP3 player nor computer but its the first one we've seen that wakes you with a morning bugle call followed by an "inspiring round of orders" from a drill sergeant. It also features an LCD display, AM/FM radio, and even a special button (runs through the whole drill routine) that motiviates you when pressed. [Source]

17. ChronArte Canna Water Clock is a Series of Tubes, Looks LovelyHere's some serious clockatude, reminding us of the Internets because it's literally a series of tubes, and it's not a big truck. The Canna Clock by ChronArte consists of a dozen glass tubes with 5.25 gallons of water, filling up as time passes and marked at 10-minute increments. For instance, the clock you see here is telling us it's 9:39.
At 12 o'clock noon and midnight, all the water drains down to the bottom, starting the process all over again. It's a river of time. It costs a river of money, too, $12,000 to be exact.

18. Giovannoni Timesphere Alarm ClockThis clock falls into the category of "looks neat, lacks functionality" products. The base of the clock displays the time in an ungoadly ugly typeface that would be hard to read during the groggy morning hours. The floating orb on top—well it doesn't really float at all, it is just an effect to show that it is wireless—projects the time on any surface. While sitting on the base, the wireless orb is charged through induction and once it is completely charged feel free to place it wherever. The orb will project the time onto a wall or surface and easily be lost when kicked or played with by a cat. This alarm clock is available for $150. [
