If you’ve ever fiddled with electronics, then you’ll recognize the photo above as resembling the classic Simpsons 260 multimeter. But rather than measuring currents, the oversized device is actually a clock!
Alan Parekh of Hacked Gadgets created this awesome clock that keeps time and outputs a calculated current to each meter to display the "current" time (get it?).
Check it out (with video clip of the clock in action): Link – Thanks Alan!

A Simpson 260! WOW! Talk about memories. To makes things even better, on that site are links for Nixie tube clocks. Nixie tubes! Haven’t seen a Nixie tube in more than 25 years. Next to pizza and women, probably the greatest most wonderful thing ever invented.
Three cheers for Alex!
(course you must know I own a pair of Freudian Slippers so that shows how unstable I am)
(pizza and women weren’t in any particular order)
(truth is they’re tied for First place)
(now I’m hungry)
