I bought one of these, and really like it. My main issue would be is the mechanism is a little chunky so I resorted to blue-tacking a dice on the wall towards the bottom of it so that it's flush [1]. The width of a normal sized dice was pretty much perfect to get it sitting "straight" against the wall, without that it would tilt downwards - and that was driving me nuts.<p>Re. materials & quality - it looks and feels very good to me,
the print is very sharp, it is smooth and well made - no sharp edges or fraying, nothing is peeling off etc. For the price I am very happy. I have no nostalgia for the acorn nor a need for a second clock but would be tempted if I could get away with it in the kitchen.<p>They must've partnered because I bought mine originally from RetroFied [2] - I saw it mentioned by Neil on an RMC video at the time and thought I must get one for the price (£25).<p>[1] <a href="https://i.imgur.com/Rw6Yt92.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Rw6Yt92.jpg</a><p>[2] <a href="https://retrofied.uk/collections/gifts-and-gadgets/products/windows-3-1-desktop-large-wall-clock" rel="nofollow">https://retrofied.uk/collections/gifts-and-gadgets/products/...</a>
Looks very nice from the pictures. They have all kinds of other retro clocks too.<p>I like this product idea, it's creative. Lack of information on materials isn't great though.
Not directly related, but anyone getting Matt Webb's Poem/1 rhyming ai clock? I missed the kickstarter but will probably pick it up at release. <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/genmon/poem-1-the-ai-poetry-clock" rel="nofollow">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/genmon/poem-1-the-ai-po...</a>
