You might think that the classic clock design is becoming a thing of the past with the advent of digital technology, but this USB Propeller Clock looks to imitate the aesthetic while using digital means for a hybrid option for all. As the name denotes, the USB Propeller Clock plugs into a computer port for power; from here, it will begin to spin and use a series of LEDs to create a clock face that will show you the time. This innovatively quirky peripheral is quite unnecessary, but helps to add a touch of character to an otherwise boring, run of the mill workstation.
Also operating as a fan that'll keep you cool, the USB Propeller Clock is clearly a win for those looking for a cool way (literally) to keep time.
