Bonsai Gear Clock

— March 19, 2008 — Fashion
This new futuristic-looking Bonsai Gear Clock is perhaps more fascinating than watching tiny leaves sprout on a real bonsai tree. In spite of their steely looks, the clock's gears are in fact made from plastic and its base is a wood box. If you can't keep a bonsai plant alive for long, maybe this strange clock is perfect for you.
