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 the face of a clock. Definitely not something you see every day.
