Somethings we’ll never understand, but we learn to accept them as certainties. What is our geeky obsession with cool clocks and watches? We don’t have an answer for that question, but we do have incentive for you to join our excitement. The Four Cubes Clock is a snazzy tabletop timepiece consisting of…well, four cubes that display the time, two designated for the hour and two for the minutes.
The cubes are connected through a wire that allows the cubes to be switched up regularly, which would make for a pretty funny practical joke to play on the owner. The clock is powered by 3 AA batteries. At first, people would look at it and be all like “why does my good friend have random number cubes sitting on his desk?”. And then, common sense will strike and they’ll feel moronic. All that’s left to do is give yourself a pat on the back for your genius design habits.
