Flash drives often get the novelty treatment, turning into anything and everything you can think of. But they’re not the only gadget capable of such unlimited transformations. Ordinary clocks are so…well…ordinary. And, if you’re the nerd you claim to be, a simple clock just won’t do. Andreas Dober may have just the thing to bring out the geeky with a touch of industrialized person inside of you. The clock above certainly has a different look about it. For one, it’s got a fairly large chain hanging from it’s face. This work of art, dubbed the “Cantena” (which if you were curious, means “chain” in Latin), was originally designed for Germany’s Anthologie Quartett. How this clock works is not much different than any other clock with gears and wheels — the gears turn, and it moves the “hand” which in this case is a big chain with numbers on it. Complex? Eh, not so much. Cool? You bet. As is sometimes customary with “art-ified” gadgets, form did take a slight precedence over function as figuring out what minute your at is pretty much anyone’s guess. But I doubt someone concerned with the exact time is going to have a clock quite like this. The only thing not so impressive is the equally exclusive art-esque price tag of $2,300 USD. Ouch. Still interested?
