Alarm Clocks

Novelty & Fun

clocky
The alarm clock that runs away and hides when you don't wake up. Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will jump off of your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide. Clocky is kind of like a misbehaving pet, only he will get up at the right time.

The Anemone Clock awakens a person with a little more personality. Unlike other alarm clocks, this one challenges a person. When the alarm goes off, it rumbles intensely, making it a little harder to find the off switch. Due to the rumbling, the clock also bounces away from the origin, thus creating another challenge of getting out of bed and chasing it around the room (kind of like a pet). After the clock is captured, it rumbles the person awake. Alarm clocks are just too easy to turn off, which leads back to sleeping again. The Anemone clock awakens a person by means of sound, light, movement, and interaction.

Snooze no more thanks to the Blowfly alarm clock. It works by launching itself at the preset time, hovers in the air and emits an annoying buzzing noise much like that of a Nat or mosquito. To get the Blowfly alarm clock to shut up, you have to peel back your crusty eyes and catch the little bugger. Not sure how high it flies or where, but if you got low ceilings you might wanna consider your standard alarm clock placed out of arms reach.


wake-cu
An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon. A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.


puzzle
This is the alarm clock that is guaranteed to wake you up! Nobody sleeps through this! It wakes you up by firing four puzzle pieces up in the air, and then it is your task to get the pieces and put them back in the alarm clock - it won't turn off until then.


inferno
Here’s the latest alarm clock with extra loud sound, the Sonic Boom Alarm Clock. It comes an adjustable volume alarm with a maximum loudness of 113 decibels, which is definitely will wake you up. Not only that, the clock even includes a shaker that can be placed under your mattress. I believe even the heaviest sleepers in the world would wake up immediately with this pair of alarm shaker.

The Snuz-N-Luz connects via WiFi to your online bank account, and donates YOUR real money to an organization you do not wish to support when you decide to snooze!

While it may be difficult to imagine anything worse that waking up to the sound of some sort of a demented chicken (waking up to a demented cat, as I do each morning, is enough as it is) but this is precisely what this clock offers. And, as if that were not enough to get you out of bed then it has another little trick up its not so feathery sleeve. For, as well as making its chirping noises, the KuKu Alarm clock will also lay little mini eggs – though lay is a polite term as it rather pops them out from the top so that they bounce from your bedside table and onto the floor where they need to found in order for the alarm to cease.


Sfera
The Sfera Clock simply climbs up the cord (mounted from the ceiling) a bit each time the snooze button is pressed.

Do you find it hard to get your partner or the kids up in the morning? Well, struggle no more...the Grenade Alarm is the perfect solution to your problem. Getting that grumbling snuffling bulk out from under the quilt covers in the morning is a challenge you shouldn't really have to deal with. Especially when the thing that emerges is inevitably grumpy and looks like a hung-over swamp monster. Our Grenade Alarm makes the whole 'getting them out of bed' exercise a very simple and indeed, amusing operation. Looking like an old-fashioned comedy hand grenade, this alarm will wake up pretty much anything. Simply pull the pin, yell an emphatic "fire in the hole", then lob the grenade into the sleeper's room. After about twenty seconds, a very annoying and piercingly loud noise will blast out. The best part, however, is that to stop the alarm the sleeper has to find you, so you can put the pin back in. It's both stupid and brilliant, but will be the bane of every over-sleeper on the planet. Parents are going to love this, though the soon to be rudely awoken might not.

Not an alarm clock but just a neat design… the About Time clock tells the time by rolling in a circle on your desk.

... and, although there is no alarm on this clock, the Marionette Clock is truly one of a kind.
