This clock has a uniquely tactile way of announcing the time. I saw this at a museum shop on vacation and didn't want to carry it home. I am glad I located it again.

the pill-shaped precision engineered pin clock uses 3,000 pins to display the hours and minutes of the day. Inspired by the popular Pin Art toy that uses moving pins to form the impression of one's hand, this creation makes watching the clock a mesmerizing experience. The minutes click ahead with a sound that evokes the classic flip of the numbers at airports or train stations, combining aural ambience with visual style.

The pins are just fascinating to watch as they click their way from one minute to the next. It takes a few days to get used to the clicking, so I recommend a living room or office location instead of the bedroom. Battery operated, so impervious to power outages.

We have this Pin Clock in our living room. The clock has a different face design versus the usual LED styles. We had tried to use it in our bedroom, but it makes a clicking sound with every time change.
