AT has always stressed the importance of scale when you're decorating a room. But sometimes, it's fun to play with scale, and the consensus at AT is that one large piece can act as a BFG (big friendly...

Pong Clock: A Spectator Sport and a Timepiece

This sleek piece displays a "rigged" game of old-school Pong that we wouldn't bet on. The player on the left scores once each hour, and the player on the right scores once each minute. Their scores, w...

Wake Up with the DangerBomb Alarm Clock

We don't know if we're all just really heavy sleepers or if the bloggers at Unplggd have a masochistic fetish for unbearably painful mornings. We've brought to light the Tyrant Alarm Clock, which thre...

If Unplggd Designed a Calendar...

This is definitely a clock worthy of Unplggd, mainly because it is always unplugged. That's right, no power is needed for this Marc Newson, Jaeger LeCoultre collabo. While kinetically charged watches ...

Tyrant Alarm Clock: Get Up or I'll Call Your Mom

We have seen our share of cruel alarm clocks, but this one takes the cake. So much so that we would probably wake up before the alarm went off out of fear and the thought of humiliation. Known as th...

Digimech: The Analog Digital Clock

We are loving this concept for a clock. What looks like four bars covered in jibberish actually turns into numerals as they pass through the central black 'clock'. Also, once each individual bar rises...
