Wall-Mounted Digital Scale and Clock

Filed under: Kitchenware & Utensils, Links, Time Keeping Devices — roclar @ 6:00 pm
Wall-Mounted Digital Scale and Clock The Wall-Mounted Digital Scale and Clock consists of two pieces. The scale portion is controlled by a touchscreen, can weigh up to seven pounds and transmits the data wirelessly via infrared to the wall-mounted piece. The wall-mounted piece then displays the resulting weight in either metric or imperial. It can also function as a clock as well as a thermometer in addition it can also hold the scale portion which slides over the clock and locks into place. The Wall-Mounted Digital Scale and Clock requires a total of seven AAA batteries which are included and is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $90. Given the amount of time I spend doing things in the kitchen, I don’t fully understand the need for a kitchen scale. That being said, this combo unit doesn’t seem to be priced that out of line compared to the other scales Salter makes.

The Decider

Filed under: Links, Time Keeping Devices — roclar @ 6:00 pm
The Decider The Decider is a curious watch from Mr. Jones Watches. Like all analog watches, its has the typical hour, minute and second hands with the customary winding wheel. But also every second the watch provides the answer yes or no in alternating fashion. I am not in the habit of posing questions to my time pieces (nor would they answer, I hope) and I am not sure I would want to pin my decision making process on whether I went looking for decision from them on an odd or even second. Still, the black and red on the watch face with the matching red and black on the watch straps are attractive. Mr. Jones Watches only produced 100 The Decider watches and they sell the individually numbered watches on their web site for $161. For the same price, they sell four other limited run watches, The Accurate, The Mantra, Right or Wrong and More or Less which display other words or imagery on the watch face.

Wiggle Wiggle Clock Designed by Chris Koens of Invotis Orange, the Wiggle Wiggle Clock is a simple analog time piece that rocks back and forth. The wiggle motion is caused by the motion from its internal pendulum and the clock’s base which has a gentle curve.

XiMax Dot Matrix Watch

Filed under: Links, Time Keeping Devices — roclar @ 5:40 pm
XiMax Dot Matrix Watch Unlike some of the LED watches that have graced the pages of roclar.net, the XiMax Dot Matrix Watch features a unique trait: its actually easy to read the time. The watch, like most LED watches, is not illuminated until you press a button. Then you are greeted with a very short animation followed by the time for about five seconds and then another very short animation. Other then that, the watch is pretty standard, capable of displaying in 12 or 24 hour time and the date. You can buy the XiMax Dot Matrix watch from Think Geek for $40.

Puhlmann Nixie Clock

Filed under: Links, Time Keeping Devices — roclar @ 5:40 pm
Puhlmann Nixie Clock I do chuckle every time I see another Nixie time piece. Good to see that fifty year old technology still has a place and understandably so since Nixie tubes just plain look cool. The Puhmlmann version of the clock measures 12.7″ x 6.2″ and is made out of brushed-steel. Power is proved by an included adapter. The Puhlmann Nixie Clock is available for $340.

Egg-Per’fect Color Changing Egg Timer

Filed under: Kitchenware & Utensils, Links, Time Keeping Devices — roclar @ 6:00 pm
Egg-Perfect Timer I have never been proficient at boiling eggs not that I try all the often. Perhaps I would with the Egg-Per’fect Color Changing Egg Timer from Burton Plastics. This timer has a heat sensor in its sensor and detects when the center has been heated enough for various levels of yolk hardness. A black mark on a graduated scale to indicate how well done the egg is. The Egg-Per’fect Color Changing Egg Timer is available from Sur la Table for $5.

Magic-Bulb Digital Alarm Clock

Filed under: Light & Illuminated Objects, Links, Time Keeping Devices — roclar @ 5:50 pm
MagicBulb Digital Alarm Clock The Magic-Bulb Digital Alarm Clock combines timekeeping features and color-changing LEDs in a light bulb shaped package. The clock stands about 5.5″ high and is about 3.5″ wide and has the normal timepiece functions such as date, time, alarm and it even tells the temperature. The LEDs are powered by four AAA batteries and the clock functions are powered by 2 AG13 batteries. It also looks like there is a plug for an DC 6V adapter but it doesn’t appear to be included.

Triple Nine Wall Clock

Filed under: Links, Time Keeping Devices — roclar @ 5:40 pm
Triple Nine Wall Clock The Triple Nine Society has a geeky yet interesting wall clock at their Cafe Press Emblem Shop. Each number on the standard clock face is present with three nines and various mathematical functions. I have to admit that I had to look up how to compute factorials and I also had to remember recurring decimal notation. The Triple Nine Wall Clock is available for $13.
