Pin ClockBy far, this has got to be the coolest clock in the world.


Remember those 3D Pin Art sculptures you or your children used to play with? You know, the rectangular, black-framed toy with metal pins, and if you pushed on those metal pins with your hand, face, or another object, they would create impressions?


Well, Daka Design's Pin Clock follows the same idea. The pins actually move to display the hours and minutes. The Pin Clock is 3.8-inches high, weighs 3 pounds, and the face is made up of 3,000 pins. But, you'll want to keep it away from your bedroom, as the pins make a clicking sound when moving in and out to change the digits. Still, it's a great masterpiece for the living room or den.

See how the Pin Clock works in Daka Design's video presentation.

I wonder if they'll ever make an old fashioned version of this with hour and minute hands? That would be insane!

Despite being distractingly loud (although you get used to it after a while), it's a cool gadget for sure. Unfortunately, mine stopped working properly after less than a year.

Are you sure you didn't cause it stop working because it's so loud? Hehehe. Yeah, I read on the SmartHome.com site that someone else had bought the Pin Clock and it stopped working. I guess it's hit or miss with this product.
