If you're one to rely on [digital clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-clock-online) in order to tell you the time, I am pretty sure that the Eye Clock is not for you. Of course, if you're up for a challenge and wish to brush up on your analog sense of time, then this timepiece is exactly the way to go.

A slightly abstract and [cartoonish timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spinnaker-fleuss-chronograph-spongebob-squarepants-eyedial), the Eye Clock actually resembles those googly eyes used during kids craft art sessions in school or daycare. Basically, the left eye represents the hour and the right eye represents the minute. Wherever the eye is pointing to corresponds to a regular [analog clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock).

Priced at $34.95, the Eye Clock is both fun and adorable. It is especially good for childrens' rooms.
