A couple of strange but awesome clocks for you.
1. Water Clock

‘At $12,000, this “ChronArte Canna Water Clock†basically consists of a dozen glass tubes with 5.25 gallons of water, filling up as time passes and marked at 10-minute increments. At 12 o’clock noon and midnight, all the water drains down to the bottom, starting the process all over again.’
2. BanClock

‘This strange alarm clock only turns off when you feed it coins. That’s not all, it costs a hefty $51 and is only available in Japan. Not to be confused with the bang clock, this alarm clock features a display like a national debt ticker and alarm which can only be turned off by feeding the damn thing some coin.’
