Let the Mint Boys Tell Time

August 25th, 2010

Marionette Clock By Jongchul KimIn order to remind us of time passing by, we need some nice time pieces. As time passing by is not really a very happy thing, so we should try our best to make it happier, like using a really cute time piece like this Marionette Clock. Designed by Jongchul Kim, these two cute Mint boys will tell us time by some interesting sports.

From Robotic Hands Clock to Bungee Jumping Mint Clock, Korean designer Jongchul Kim has surprised us with really amazing clocks. And right here is another wall clock that you’ll fancy. It’s the Marionette Clock, which shows time with its hanging hand that is hooked up with the string to two Mint Boys at the top. So as the Mint Boys ride their unicycles, the vertical wire length will be changed, and the time will then be displayed. Really interesting, isn’t it?

I think this wall clock is really really cute, now time do pass merrily, right?

Wake Up Pillow

May 25th, 2010

Stretching ClockI love little gadgets as you might all know, and cute alarm clocks are always welcomed in my house, but unfortunately they usually never do their job properly. Either too noisy, or too easy to turn off, or something else, they just never really wake me up and make me feel good about the new day at the meanwhile. So they’re cute, but not really useful to me, and I’m hoping this Stretching Clock will be really helpful.

From now on, the first thing you should do in the morning is to fully stretch yourselves, because only by that means you can turn off the sounding alarm! Designed by Seung-hee Ryu, the cute ‘Stretching’ is a clever combination of a soft pillow and a firm clock, which will do its best to pull the users out of their sweet dream by asking them to stretch their arms. Being a lazy person who cannot wake up from deep slumber, this clock I think would be perfect for me!
Stretching Clock 1This is interesting, and by stretching my body to wake me up is quite funny and practical. But I’m just concerned that with a noisy alarm clock shouting right under my head would really make me crazy maybe, so this clock will still have to be tested before I can recommend it to you guys.

As for Gavin Henderson, the designer feels that time can grow taller and shorter. You don’t understand? Well, look carefully at the Vertical Clock.

Vertical Clock 1Vertical Clock 2It’s constructed from three bars, one of which indicates the hour and the other two the minute. As time passes, the three bars will move up and down to tell the exact time.

Mounted on the wall or held in the hand, the clock is always interesting to look at. According to the designer, the Vertical Clock can change from 10 inches and 17inches in length, and that’s really amazing.

Well, now you see how time grows taller and shorter? Hah…This is a really nice and interesting timepiece that will bring you lots of convenience and fun, just enjoy!
