Looking at this clock makes us want to put in a quick round on the heavy bag and hit the showers. The 1940s Gymnasium Clock is a throwback to that industrial style that was so prevalent in gyms back in the day. The body of the clock is crafted from riveted sheet metal, a metal grill, and quartz movement mechanics. Set it up in your place and you'll feel inspired to bang out some weights and get in a bare knuckle boxing match. Whether you're the next Rocky Marciano or just looking to get inspired to stay fit, the 1940s Gymnasium Clock from Restoration Hardware would go well in your pad.
The list of things we're problem buyers of is way too long. Too many pairs of jeans, minimalist art prints, notebooks, watches (and don't even get us started on Kickstarter pens) would fill any number of previously mentioned notebooks. Clocks go on that list too. There might be a total of five naked walls between all ... continue reading
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading

Besides being a bit jealous, we think we found your perfect clock. This collaboration between HUF and Skate Mental is the ideal timepiece ... continue reading

The Braun Digital Wall Clock is simply designed with that old-school Braun industrial-meets-tech feel.

Are you the type of guy that sleeps lightly and wakes up at the sound of a pin drop? In college, we loved being the guy that could sleep through anything, but now that we have responsibilities and a job to get to it kind of sucks. We need an alarm clock that makes absolutely sure we get our asses out of bed and nothing ... continue reading
We already rely on our iPhone to wake our ass up in the morning, so shouldn't we at least make it look like a presentable alarm clock? Right now, the chord dangles loosely on our nightstand only held in place by the remains of a nightcap and a short stack of Blu-rays. For a more distinguished presentation of the only ... continue reading
With cellphones, alarm clocks and blinking microwave displays, purchasing a clock for your pad is no longer a necessity. Still, no one has ever said, "Man, that's a freakin' sweet-ass microwave." For those of us who still appreciate design with our function, telling time around our home will be much more pleasant ... continue reading
Most iPhone 4/4s docking stations out there would seem pretty out of place on the set of All in the Family, The Brady Bunch or Debbie Does Dallas. Flowers and tacky wallpaper don't really mesh with jet-black technology stamped with a chrome "Bose" logo. For some retro chic there's The Cdock. Reminiscent of an old-school ... continue reading
There's no debating the fact that waking up in the morning sucks, but regardless of how much it sucks it has to happen.

Sufficient to say we've seen our share of iPhone docking station alarm clocks. You probably have as well if you took a stroll around your local Brookstone (and by "stroll" we mean looked around while sitting in a massaging chair). Though we've seen a bunch of them, we haven't seen one that integrates the dock ... continue reading
$500 or more for a clock might seem crazy, but hear us out. Nooka has been making awesome watches that, while occasionally hard to read are incredibly fun and eye catching. If only there were a wall mountable, huge (9" x 9") version of one of their watches... Well, now you can help make that a reality. The newest Kickstarter-esque ... continue reading
Gasoline and testosterone go together like gin and tonic or whiskey and coke. Gasoline is in a man's blood so it's only natural that he would want to inject some of that into the decorations that adorn his walls. Unfortunately, actually decorating with gasoline is quite dangerous and will probably get you arrested, ... continue reading
The crackle of a turntable needle touching down has always provided a great sense of anticipation. It could be the sound of a party starting or a relaxing Sunday afternoon just getting underway. Kind of like that hiss you hear when you open a can of beer. It generally told you what time it was. Now, you can ... continue reading
There's always a special place in our hearts for something that cleverly re-purposes an object to fit another use. It's ingenuity, or in the common nomenclature of popular culture, MacGuyvering. These clocks get our stamp of approval by taking something unusual--a reel of old school audio tape--and using it as ... continue reading
Not only is it impressive that Moshi's Alarm Clock Radio is voice-controlled, it's impressive that it recognizes and interprets a variety of colorful expletives and nearly a dozen of your commands. You can even perform complex tasks with it, like setting the time via voice command or throwing it into the far wall ... continue reading
