Banclock.png

I'm all about alarm clocks that help you get out of bed, and here's another good one to add to the roster. The Banclock is a unique alarm clock that has no snooze button, no off button, no silencer button, nothing. You program the time you want the alarm to go off, and when it goes off, it goes off, and the only way to stop it is to deposit some change into the coin slot on the top.

Designed to help you get up on time as well as save your change, the Banclock from Tokyo Hands comes in a few bright colors, including the blue, yellow, and black shown here. While you can easily pop out the change drawer at the bottom to feed it enough coins to make it quiet down every morning, I imagine it'd be pretty difficult to open the drawer, remove the coins, close the drawer, and feed them through the top of the clock without being awake enough to just get out of bed anyway.

I need something like this. All too often I have hit the "off" or "snooze" button on my alarm clock, only to wake up hours later and not realize what I had done. Oh and instead of putting coins within reach to turn this one off I think I should probably hide them somewhere so it takes some effort to get the thing to shut up.
