Instead of hiding them ashamedly around the back or behind a modest little door, this clock instead displays its batteries out front, proudly putting the double-As in place of hands.
The cells fit snugly into two little hollows, one in each of the concentric circles that make up the body of the Front & Back clock. One each for hours and minutes, the AA batteries both power the unit and make up its display, a neat simplicity which would of course be ruined as soon as you put in a pair of logo-laden cylinders instead of the sleek gray bullets in seen in the picture.
And they’re a uniform gray for a reason: they don’t exist, not outside of a CGI rendering, anyway. If it were to make the leap into the real world, I would buy one and load it up with two different batteries: one Duracell in the minute position, its notional Bunny mascot running rings round and around the hour slot, which would be filled by a short-living dime-store cell, probably named something like Powercell, or Manasonic.
