Apocalyptic Countdown Clocks

Prepare for the Possible End with the Mayan Countdown Clock

— December 5, 2012 — Unique
With December 21st supposedly bringing the end of civilization, this Mayan Countdown Clock will help you anticipate the possibly impending apocalypse.

The clock features a day, hour, minute and second countdown that is currently set to finish at 11:11 am on December 21st, which is the last day of the Mayan calendar and what some are speculating could be the end of life on earth. This Mayan Countdown Clock features an ancient sun stone-like adornment that will surely help remind you not to forget that the end is close at hand. Should the world continue spinning after December 21st, the Mayan Calendar Clock can be reset for any date you'd like to start a countdown towards; here's hoping we're around to do that!
Trend Themes
1. Apocalyptic Countdown Clocks - Opportunity to capitalize on the cultural fascination with the apocalypse by providing visually striking and customizable countdown clocks.
2. End-of-the-world Memorabilia - Entrepreneurs can tap into the interest in the Mayan calendar and end-of-the-world theories to create and sell unique collectibles and souvenirs.
3. Survival Gear and Emergency Preparedness - Increased concern over apocalyptic events can drive demand for survival gear, emergency preparedness kits, and related products and services.
Industry Implications
1. Retail and E-commerce - Opportunity for retailers to sell apocalyptic countdown clocks and end-of-the-world memorabilia online or through brick-and-mortar stores.
2. Tourism and Entertainment - Travel companies and tourist attractions can offer themed experiences and tours related to the Mayan calendar and apocalyptic events.
