The Verbarius Clock Tells Time. Vaguely.

By Malcolm Owen | Feb 26, 2007

Verbarius ClockYou remember those novelty clocks you could give people whom were vague about time? The ones with only an hour hand, and time locations such as “Five-ish” on the outside edge? The ones that the recipient of the gift finds insulting and refuses to invite you to their wedding? Thinking of it right now? Forget about it.

Those crazy guys behind that really cool keyboard that can change it’s keys (that I’m still waiting to get. Maybe by Christmas…) are at it again, but now with a vague clock. And by that, I m referring to a vague clock that doesn’t use hands: It uses words. And sentences if need be.
The Verbarius Clock is a multi-lingual timekeeping device that communicates through words and sentences. And by communicates, I mean tells you the time. It also randomizes the phrasing each time, so it can say Four Fifty Three as well as Seven Minutes to Five. It also looks kick ass, with the words seemingly blending into the clock with hardly any clue as to how it actually does this.

It’s a cool clock. I probably won’t be able to say that again in my lifetime, but it really is.
