Take a good long look at Swedish designer Illi's new Art du Temps wall clock. This clock tells time by moving around blocks to form numbers. That on its own wouldn't be such a huge accomplishment if the Art du Temps wasn't a mechanical clock.
Unfortunately for the more frugal, Illi is planning on pricing the Art du Temps at bank-breaking $93,000. You can start saving now and use the attached video featuring the clock in action as motivation.
