I’ve long had a love for things that light up in interesting ways, particularly if they’re time pieces too. Reckon it’s the old hippy in my wishing I lived in a word of groovy progressive tunes lit only by coloured oil projector lamps … tempered with something of a 70s vibe given my love of interesting light up digital stuff too, probably so I can tell the time in the darkness of my groovily lit world ;-).
As an aside I’m currently listening to some very suitable music by Pete Brown & Piblokto so the lights are right down in my study and I really need that oil projector on now!
Anyhow, I own a gorgeous Nixie clock for my living room, I’ve a collection of interesting watches including a lovely classic red LED one and several of Tokyoflash’s finest, and I owned several of Mathmos‘ classics, years before lava/glitter/fibre optic lamps were considered fashionable and hence were ten a penny!
I’ve decided however that this clock is a step too far in terms of unreadability despite it being a shiny colourful looking beast! However, if somebody would like to buy it for me for Xmas I’m sure I’ll give it a go ;-).
