Get Around the Time with Lexon Around Clock
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 11:00 PM on June 20, 2008
Minimalist clocks pop up from time to time, and while sometimes they're just good enough for you to know it's "three-ish," the Around clock can actually let you know it's "three fifteenish." It's about as simple design as you can get: with a rotating dial and a red wire that tells you the time. From Lexon, it's available for US$45. And you can't get that tune out of your head now can you? Round round get around.... [Acquire]

Shouldn't that lyric be "rock a round the clock"?

@92BuickLeSabre: Ah... ten out of ten, sir ;-) But that would've been just a smidge too obvious...

Minimalist clocks? How bout the ultimate minimalist clock? A freakin sudial. Absolutely no carbon (scam) footprint.

I'm thinking, "Round and round/With love we'll find a way just give it time"

Wait...Softcell did "Tainted Love." Dammit...what kind of child of the 80s am I? If I keep this up, I'll have to turn in my Voltron underoos!

See, I started thinking Softcell's "You spin me right round, round like a record, baby" but then had a horrible flashback of being tricked into visiting meatspin.com, which has forever ruined that song for me! *shudder*
Cool clock, tho...not sure I'd spend $45 on one, maybe $20. You listening Lexon?
