Unusual clock by CommonGoods for $ 160. The clock tells you the time in a unique way: "this tubular clock mounts on the wall and tells time in phrases, not numbers. The two halves alternate hours and 5-minute increments, so that the time will change from a half past eight, twenty-five minutes to nine, twenty minutes to nine, quarter to nine, ten minutes to nine and, finally, about nine. Such a completely fresh and unique idea - you'll never tire of looking at the clock."
