Some of the more discerning timepiece owners out there have certain standards when it comes to buying a designer watch. Some may want the latest cutting edge technology, some may prefer to have swiss made only whilst some prefer their timepiece to have bits of soil on it.
Yes, for the green fingered time afficianados out there you can now buy a bamboo clock that is powered by soil. That’s right - soil. This fascinating invention is powered by copper and zinc electrodes which ‘plug’ directly into the soil which functions as a conductive medium through which an electrical charge can pass. All you have to do is remember to keep your plants well watered!
With christmas coming this could be the ideal gift for that special hippy in your life!
What’s not to love about this? It’s a great big bloody cuckoo clock! Getting up in the morning would be a treat with one of these - provided your bedside desk was big enough.
2) Alarm Clock
This clever chap has invented an ingenious contraption to wake you up in the morning. Although I’m not sure it’s to suitable for anyone with spinal injuries. Come to think about it - it’s probably not suitable for anyone without spinal injuries either as they’d soon get them.
3) Inclined clock
I don’t think there’s much competition out there for large inclined clocks, but still this is a very impressive piece of construction.
4) Pendelum Clock
This huge clock really straddles the line between art and function as it’s undoubtedly a beautiful thing.
Vladamir Putin is very aware of the need to be well presented. This is the guy who released a ‘Let’s learn judo with Vladimir‘ DVD in 2008 - he made no mistakes that it was all a careful PR stunt, the DVD didn’t really contain Judo instructions from the Russian chief, ‘but from real geniuses’
Pictures of Vladimir doing manly things like fishing in a lake with his shirt off are entirely normal. Pictures of him holding a gun and wrestling tigers don’t even raise eyebrows. This is stock manly behaviour from the Russian chieftain…
So how has this Russian man-god decided to demo his testosterone this time?
By presenting his watch to a child on a horse of course! If anyone on the planet knows how to show off the manly mojo, it’s Vladimir Putin, so we officially declare that giving people a watch is as manly as wrestling a tiger. Of course, Putin assures us we can stroke a tiger and be manly at the same time.
