Wooden Clocks

Yes, we know that a digital clock made of wood makes about as much sense as a granite laptop, but this particularly stylish block of timber is one of the most eye-catching and unique timepieces we've ever seen.

Looks just like a block of wood!But that's not because the groundbreaking Wooden Clock is made of a simple slab of wood; it's because the glowing digital numerals appear as if by magic on its smooth surface; there's no smoked-perspex panel or discernable display to be seen!

Indeed, until the numbers illuminate, the Wooden Clock looks exactly like a regular block of wood - albeit a smooth, sanded, slightly Swedish-looking one. And don't bother asking us how it works 'cos we haven't got a clue. All we know is that digital numbers look seriously cool glowing against a natural-looking wooden background.

Looks great at home or at work.The Wooden Clock is a seriously chic desktop/bedside device because despite its hi-tech functionality there's nothing to detract from its smooth lines. Even the buttons for setting the time and alarm are hidden on the back of the block. So if you're the kind of person who likes to be on time but would rather not sully your surfaces with a cumbersome clock, the supremely unobtrusive Wooden Clock is most definitely for you.

Buttons are hidden on the backBest of all the Wooden Clock is the perfect antidote to all those novelty clocks favoured by 'I'm mad, I am' geeks, because it's different without being dorky. What time is it? No, it's not flippin' Chico time, it's Wooden Clock time! get it in firebox.com (have a nice shopping...)
