What is the difference between a clock and a timepiece? If you are a layperson, none. But for horologists, a clock is a device with a striking mechanism for announcing intervals of time acoustically. Wikipedia says that a silent instrument lacking such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece.
But we don't need to be bothered by such definitions right? So let us look at some nice ways of telling time!

Yak! Yak! Yak! This clock loves to say stuff like 'I feel sure you have slept soundly, feel thoroughly refreshed, and await the day with the anticipation of an energetic gazelle' or 'It appears to be morning. Very inconvenient, I agree. I believe it is the rotation of the Earth that is to blame, sir'. ($69.99/Rs 3,339) |
Hate math? Then this is not the clock for you! It features weird symbols from your algebra class (or is it trigonometry? I never could tell the difference, if any) that you loved to hate. Still, you could buy it to remind yourself that you never have to do math again! ($26.99/Rs 1,287) Read Next Story Trending StoriesLatest Photos |
