This Clock Seems like the Wall of an Alien Spaceship [Video]

You notice that clock to your wall? That clock is awful. Why? It’s awful because it isn’t this clock-the shape-shifting, sci fi Art du Temps . It pulses rather than ticks. It flips open by voice command. It’s… expensive.

As if it has a life of its own, the Art du Temps’ mechanical square plates beat with each passing second-maybe it’s inhabited by some advanced AI! Or, $90,000 worth of Swiss engineering. Yes, $90,000-a sum it’s essential to probably use to explore the cosmos and convey back an exact alien artifact, but this timepiece is far easier to procure. Assuming you have got $90,000 to spend on a wall clock. But what a wall clock! All those beating plates are neat, but simply ask for the time (en Francais?), and the Art du Temps unfolds to expose a digital display beneath. It can easily be the best thing in your home-even though you need to mortgage said house to get one. [ via Luxist ]
