Yes, we know that a digital clock made of wood makes about as much sense as a granite laptop, but this particularly stylish block of timber is one of the most eye-catching and unique timepieces we've ever seen.

But that's not because the groundbreaking Wooden Clock is made of a simple slab of wood; it's because the glowing digital numerals appear as if by magic on its smooth surface; there's no smoked-perspex panel or discernable display to be seen!

Indeed, until the numbers illuminate, the Wooden Clock looks exactly like a regular block of wood - albeit a smooth, sanded, slightly Swedish-looking one. And don't bother asking us how it works 'cos we haven't got a clue. All we know is that digital numbers look seriously cool glowing against a natural-looking wooden background.

The Wooden Clock is a seriously chic desktop/bedside device because despite its hi-tech functionality there's nothing to detract from its smooth lines. So if you're the kind of person who likes to be on time but would rather not sully your surfaces with a cumbersome clock, the supremely unobtrusive Wooden Clock is most definitely for you.

Best of all the Wooden Clock is the perfect antidote to all those novelty clocks favoured by 'I'm mad, I am' geeks, because it's different without being dorky. What time is it? No, it's not flippin' Chico time, it's Wooden Clock time!

Visitor Reviews...

visitor avatar Quality looking clock. Not a solid block of wood though. It's laminated. Still looks mega though. Bought one for my bro for his birthday.... Going to get one for myself now though.

visitor avatar Great product! How does it work? I don't know. I've confused all of my friends with it because they don't get how it works!
