Another very cool and unusual clock from Sander Mulder. This one rolls around on your desk and gives you approximate times, like "around seven, or maybe more like about eight." A bit pricey at close to $200 in the few places I've seen it for sale but very nifty. Thanks Barb for calling this to my attention! LINK→
