Hasta La Gadget!

People close to me are well aware that I’m someone who likes a good laugh. I’m always on the lookout for new ways to get a rise out of people, and sometimes that means buying something silly, for no other reason that this. Well if you’re anything like me, then I might have just the clock for you.

If you’ve ever stopped by a small mom-and-pop shop around lunchtime, then you’ve probably encountered a sign with a clock face on it, telling you what time they’ll be back from lunch. These things have been around for ages, and don’t really provide any humor. Until you turn it into a clock, that is.

The idea behind the Will Return Clock is that you’ll set it to be ahead by a few minutes, or even an hour. Then, set it outside your office, or hang it on your door. If you have some sort of hidden camera, that will help. People will come up to your door, and realize that you’re going to be gone for just a bit, only to return and find out that you’re still going to be gone…for the exact same amount of time. Watch and see how many times it takes them to figure out that according to the clock, you’re never coming back! This silly clock will only cost you around $14, and should provide a few good laughs.

When it comes to the smartwatch industry, you could say that this is still a young market which is relatively untapped, but finding the correct killer combination of hardware as well as software is the secret recipe that has yet to be discovered. Sure, Android has their champion in the form of the Pebble timepiece, and there are also whispers that Apple might come up with an iOS-powered iWatch. Still, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, which is why the Meteor smartwatch by Kreyos is an interesting proposition. It is an Indiegogo project at the moment, and will play nice with Apple’s iOS, while boasting voice and gesture control support to boot.

The Meteor will feature a three-axis gyro, carry an accelerometer and other motion sensors which are capable of detecting things like wrist motion. The wrist motion detection can be customized so that you will be able to effect the right response with a movement which you are most comfortable with. Voice control would also come in handy during those moments when both of your hands are occupied.

I think that the world is divided into two different groups – one that purchases watches as a practical device to tell the current time, while the other group would be one that picks up watches as a form of investment. You know for sure that one loves to invest in watches if you come across someone who truly believes in Patek Philippe’s marketing slant that one does not merely own a Patek Philippe, but rather, looks after it for the next generation. Well, if you do not have the kind of fat bank account to purchase luxury watches for keepsake and hopefully sell them off at a far higher price sometime down the road, then you would do well to check out the new range of watches from Tom Dixon under the Eclectic Collection, and the name of the collection itself is epitomized by the kind of timepieces which were rolled out.

The trio of new watches that were designed by Tom Dixon is extremely unique, due to the fact that each item has been crafted from honest, resilient and heavyweight materials including copper, marble, cast iron, and wood among others. Clearly inspired by British heritage, Tom Dixon has a penchant for choosing his products very carefully, and the Block Watches this time around intend to add an air of excitement to the collection – in addition to value, of course.

The Square Case itself has been stamped from a block of pure stainless steel, using the most minimal of components and yet having a great impact with the assuredness that heads will turn your way whenever you wear one of his timepieces. After all, the square case is a surefire method of attracting attention thanks to its unusual look, with Swiss movement within to make it as reliable as possible. All numerals on the dial have been deep etched, and they remain clearly visible to boot, while the dial itself is encased within a crystal face for clear visibility and protection simultaneously. If you are on the lookout for a truly unique timepiece, then you will not go too wrong with Tom Dixon’s offerings.

Waking up in the mornings can be rather difficult to do, especially when you happen to have a sleepless night before that. Of course, it does not help that you have a highly stressful job to attend to each weekday. I suppose having the right kind of alarm clock might do the trick, as some of us tend to sleep through the ringing of the alarm. Enter the £28.99 Flip Alarm Clock, which as its name suggests, is flippin’ brilliant, coming in blue, lime, purple, and red colors.

The Flip Alarm Clock is so easy to use, that it does away with the need for complicated settings and control panels. Not only that, it comes in a lightweight and colorful form factor, making sure that things remain simple at all times. Sporting a big bold design, there will be a couple of sides to this timepiece, which have been embossed ON and OFF for obvious reasons, so all you need to do is flip it to the side that you want, as the bits and pieces within will then be able to tell just which way it is facing, and alert (or not) you as requested.

There are watches, and then there are watches. Depending on just which side of the divide you stand on, there are different timepieces to cater for numerous personalities that we have walk the planet each morning. Some folks cannot be bothered to wear a watch as they have their smartphone and tablet to keep watch of the time, while others feel that there is nothing quite like flicking your wrist to check out that designer timepiece that moves with Swiss precision. If you happen to have a penchant for the young-at-heart and zany designs, then the £9.99 Ticker Watch might just fit the bill perfectly.

Touted to be “virtually indestructible” just like Wolverine’s adamantium-infused skeleton (while working on the assumption that you do not actively try to destroy them), the Ticker Watch is a snap to use without having to struggle with complicated buttons or settings. Sporting a wide range of bold and colorful designs for you to choose from, the Ticker Watch is made from an innovative and virtually indestructible material. This digital timepiece will come in blue, green, yellow, leopard print, dotty and geometric designs, whichever floats your boat.
