Seems like it's the time of year for cool new alarm clocks (see puzzle clock).This is an amazing alarm clock if you ask me. The designer who made this masterpiece, Duncan Shotton, did not just make an ordinary clock.
Agreed, this clock might look like an LED or LCD clock at first, but don't be fooled. It's actually a complicated mechanical contraption which creates a 7-segment digital illusion.
A series of cryptic looking numeric black-on-white segments are printed on vertical sliders. These sliders gradually move into position within a black masking box as to reveal the current time of day.
As time passes by, the sliders climb to the top, until the 9th digit on a given position hits. After that, the mechanism disengages and drops the slider all the way back down to the 0 position.
More info available on the official website.
