What is an electronic ink clock exactly? Well that's a good question. For those who use e-readers, the "ink" that shows up on the screen for your various books is written in electronic ink.
The company Twelve24 is taking e-ink out of the books and slapping it on the wall with its new electronic ink clock. This thing is extremely large in size too -- it's not going to be an understated part of an office or living room it is going to be the big obvious floating clock in the room.
The design is of four big zero shaped digits that will flash when the time changes. It is a big idea with an equally big price tag, but that's what happens when CES comes to town
