If someone can tell me where I can get it I’d be the happiest person ever!

QLOCKTWO
By Biergert & Funk This is a pretty elegant clock solution. It might not be the most efficient but it is pretty cool.

The clock is not merely a means of keeping track of the hours, but of synchronizing the actions of men. The clock, not the steam engine, is the key machine of the industrial age […] In its relationship to determinable quantities of energy, to standardization, to automatic action, and finally to its own special product, accurate timing., the clock has been the formost machine in modern technic; and at each period it has remained in the lead: it marks a perfection toward which other machines aspire.
Lewis Mumford, Technics and Civilization
The QLOCKTWO features the time in typographic time format in 5-minute intervals, plus a minute dot at each of the four corners for to-the-minute precision.
Each letter is LED-illuminated through the acrylic glass surface with polished edges, along with the wooden body, the QLOCKTWO is a 4 kg masterpiece handmade in Germany.
Behind the elegant minimalist design is some great engineering, including a light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to ambient lighting as well as time synchronization.

The clock rolls around, showing the time at the bottom of the ring face, where it meets the counter or table it rests upon.

Useful pocket sized multi-clock. Depending on which way the clock stands it tells you the time or the temperature. Stand it another way and it acts as a calendar or an alarm clock
Great gift for frequent travelers or those on the go.
