Here is a different kind of clock for your room. Rather than clock hands, the Time Machine Clock makes use of bearings to tell you the time. This device deploys dozens of shiny chrome ball bearings along an elaborate course to tell the time.

A central spindle counts the seconds, releasing a ball every minute. Once five minutes is reached, the five minute ball is released. These balls accumulate until 12 have been released, whereupon the one hour ball is set free and rolls into place. This continues on the hour, every hour.

For the people who want a change of view and gadgets, this is one clock that really offers something different. The Time Machine Clock retails for £39.99.
