Cool Online Clock Made From Virtual Scroll Bars
I absolutely love cool clocks, and this one is no exception. For some Sunday fun, check out the Scroll Clock by toki woki. I've provided you with a sneak peek below, but basically it's a visual masterpiece, consisting of many tiny moving scroll bars — just like the ones you use when surfing the web!
Found It! Trompe-l'œil Grandfather Clock
I spotted this photo in the portfolio of photographer Joanna Henderson and I'm absolutely in love with it. Not only is the light beautiful, but the space couldn't be any more understatedly elegant. The trompe-l'œil grandfather clock is simply great for that white wall, and it pairs perfectly with those bentwood chairs.
QlockTwo Clock: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Forget old, traditional clocks with those lame arms — the QlockTwo (around $1,200) timepiece is breaking all the rules over here. Set in a wooden box with a custom color glass face, this clock uses little lightup words to tell you the time in five-minute increments. Not only does it give you an update every five, but for all you traditionalists who need a more accurate quote, you can check the little (more familiar) clock in the bottom corner.
Do You Own a Grandfather Clock?
You don't see grandfather clocks much these days. When you've got an iPhone or BlackBerry, who needs a clock or a watch? But they are beautiful, and I'm soothed by the quiet tick-tock of their hands.
Nice and New: Ikea PS Pendel Clock
Flipping through the latest issue of Living Etc, I was awestruck by a cool grandfather clock. The quirky and modern design has built-in shelving to hold your housewares — perfect for kitchenware or books.

Nice and New: The Twice Twice Clock
The Twice Twice Clock ($150) would look right at home in a gender-neutral bedroom. Its walnut finish and rectangular shape are definitely masculine, but its neon pop of color, courtesy of the clock hands, imbues the clock with a fun, feminine modernity. Designed by Jonas Damon, who seems to have an obsession with clocks, as well as simple, elegant shapes, you couldn't go wrong with adding any of Damon's designs to your home.

Love It or Hate It? Cucuruku Clock
Presented in Milan last year at the international furniture show, the Cucuruku Clock ($350) is a restrained interpretation of the old German classic. Constructed from wenge painted wood, this is a perfect cuckoo clock for the minimalist modern home. But would you put it in yours?
Desire/Acquire: Ceiling Medallion Clock
Reinventing an old classic, the Victorian ceiling medallion, the Mr Kaliski Rose Clock ($111, plus shipping from Britain) is quite the feminine and modern timepiece. Car-quality paint in white, pink, gold, or gray gives it a contemporary, industrial look. As much as I think it's a pretty little clock, I'd prefer not to spend over 100 smackers on the thing.
The Forecaster Clock Acts As Your Personal Weatherman
I thought I had found the solution to weather updates with Umbrella Today — a neat site that will text you when you need to take an umbrella with you that day. Guess again!
A new little invention called the Weather Man Forecaster Clock ($43) features weather forecast icons (sunny, cloudy, rainy) and a cute little weatherman guy that comes with 15 different outfits, so you know exactly what to expect when you walk outside.
