I have always loved watches- they are like a statement on the person wearing it; it really describes you as a personality so a watch can really tell much about a person. Here is a watch that U really like- it is a man’s watch, p
erfect for strong personalities who do not want to remain an unknown in the crowd. This watch is more than just a beautiful aquisition, but also a very interesting way to see what time it is. On the Vulcania watch, made by producer Fabrice Gonetyou, can see time in few different ways- for example the hours are seen on the wheel, and the minutes are on the circular dial. There is even a small window to display the day.
The most interesting and charming thing is that you can actually see the inner mechanism of the watch which is done with some very cool sapphire glass panels on the front, back, and even the sides. Also the edition of this jewerly is very limited- so far, only 11 of these beauties have been produced, so if you have the chance to get one, consider yourself a lucky one!

If you
are a heavy-sleeper, mostly at morning times when you have to get very early at the office, this shall be the best gift for you: a clock that sounds very loud at the set time, and, most important: it starts flying into the room making a mosquito sound and it does not stop until you wake up and turn it off- now that’s an exciting way to wake up each morning, isn’t it?
If, by mistake, you leave or window open, it could even fly out of your house, go into the neighboor’s yard and scaring the poor dog off! Or, following another plot, if you really do not hear it and it goes out of battery, it can easily land on you (maybe even on your head!), harming you or leaving you unconscious! However, this would be the worst scenary out there- the device is actually very funny and it even won a technology design award for its innovation and flair.

Got tired of your old clock and want something that embodies the features of a normal timepiece with the ones of a very impressing decor piece? I know we have presented you all kind of
clocks from the binary system ones to the “Whatever” clock version, but today we put the cherry on the top of the cake: ladies and gentlemen, introducing to you the Time Cube Clock which as a first sight it just might get confused with a time machine or a sketch from Leonardo Da Vinci. However, it is something far more simple than that: a clock which works like this: the largest triangle shows the hours, the medium one shows minutes, and a quick-moving small triangle for the second hand. There is no summary introduction to the way you have to set it- if this includes moving the traingles and which one out of the three or maybe there is just another mechanism.
However, I am sure the clock comes with an instructions manual and after you get used to it, there is not such a big deal on the way it works. This might be just the perfect gift your desk room needs.

The weather- for sure this is one of the most famous subjects of conversation on the buses, and not only for the British, who are known for the tradition of discussing weather all day long with the neighbor next door. But if you want to bring up some spice into your chating about rain, sun, the movement of the cloulds and the fog tomorrow, meet your new best friend that will tell you many secrets: the SM1760 device tracks indoor temperature and the humidity data in order to calculate a comfort factor, which is displayed on several icons. Air pressure is displayed both on a numeric display and on a trend graph, so you can read the icons and have a go at predicting what tomorrow’s weather is going to be.
The wooden wall mini weather station can track, besides temperature, humidity and air pressure, also the temperature up to 40 metres away using a wireless remote sensor to detect it. This means that by placing it on your door, you can tell exactly how many degrees are on the other side-if there is a freezing winter air or, by contrary, a very hot June morning. It has a built in calendar and super-accurate alarm clock. The day, date, and time are all set automatically, synchronising with a precise atomic clock signal transmitted over the radio waves. Moreover, the device can actually calculate all the phases of the moon-special news for those of you who are putting together a plan for a romantic trip under the full moon!

This alarm clock is truly amazing! Enough with the boring, common alarm clocks that make you wanna throw them on the window each morning they make that annoying sound with their sharp, white faces- not anymore! Now you can actually have fun while you watch the time passing on this innovative clock. On each hour the so-called Aurora Rocket will switch to a new colour, giving you a gentle, amusing indication that time is moving along even if you chose to point the bright red clock digits.
It has a retro kind of look, so for sure this piece will not get unobserved on your desk. If you want to use it as a bed alarm clock, then you have the option to chose a slowly morphing colour light effect that can follow you even if the lights are turned off, for several minutes in the dark. So if you decide to buy this wonderul clock as a gift, think again- you might just want to keep t for yourself once you saw how it functions and glows while minutes pass by.

Firs
t of all, I must inform you that this clock is not a normal one that shows the time by its two arrows for hour and minutes- this binary clock actually tells you the time in a binary code, purely arithmetic and if you have no idea what binary code is, you need to practice a little bit before you can figure out how to read the time information. Do not be scared, reading a binary code is no
t that difficult, but you need a bit of ambition and practice to figure it out.
However, the clock can be a perfect gift for somebody that likes the challenges, as it definitely puts your brain at work. For more information on how to understand a binary code is available here: http://www.anelace.com/XLDSet_up.html

Sometimes, people can get really obsessive with “what time is it?” and their repeated question can get, at times, more than annoying. So, if you want to surprise them with an original version of a wall clock- here you have it-
the Whatever wall clock.
Even though the digits are put all together randomly it is easy to figure out what time it is and its message is really interesting: “what time is it?”…and the answer “whatever”- after all, time was invented by us, the human beings, and today more than ever, it has a relative meaning.
