The beauty that you see before you is an interesting concept for an alarm clock that visualises time designed by Antrepo Design Industry (source) the large numbers on the left signify the hour of the day while the red line moves across the bar to visualise the movement of seconds within each minute.
Unfortunately the above is very unlikely to reach our gadget shops any time soon, while it is super beautiful and pleasing on the eye we just dont have the technology available that would be able to reproduce it in the real world for a reasonable amount of money – any engineer will tell you that much. While bi-colour and tri-colour LED’s are widely available in many colour selections from red to green and red to yellow and so on I have yet to find a single one that goes from red to white (or grey as shown here) without having to use a tri-colour (RGB) LED which would certainly increase the complexity of manufacturing and costs. With that said, hats off to anyone who can manufacture this in the real world and make it available for less than £200 as David Forbes says:
It’s too bad that this clock can’t be produced at a reasonable cost, since it is a nice looking design. The LED dot matrix display itself would cost over 50 dollars and would get rather warm in operation. The retail price would have to be several hundred dollars.
If I had a few spare weeks and a couple hundred pound spare I would cirtainly give it ago, even just to have one myself, it would certainly need a light detector to automatically dim the LEDs during night time because I can foresee this illuminating a whole room. In any case some more pretty picutres below to please your viewing organs.
