Cincinnati design team Such + Such creates these topography-inspired clocks with their pet CNC machine. I love a good good mash-up of traditional material and modern manufacturing techniques (or the flip side, old school manufacturing and modern materials). They come in a couple of sizes and finishes, for those of you still use a clock to tell time.

To our our lab members with a shop full of bike parts, check out this creative reuse. A lot of designers are using old gears and chain rings, but this is a much bigger scale. For me, it's the bright red hands that make all the difference. Available (currently sold out) from the here or the here, where you can also find clocks made from an assortment of vintage computer, bike, and audio components. I also really like this turntable clock.

Our own Martin Leugers sends in this fantastic alarm clock he built, all from reclaimed materials. He rescued an alarm clock from the 80s and gave it new life as this very modern creation that makes use of several items that had piled up around his workshop.
Project includes
- One hideous thrift store alarm clock
- Scrap from a PSL (parallel strand lumber) beam
- Toggle switch from a sales sample kit
- 4 rubber feet (OK, those were new)
This one is from his personal collection, but Martin is available for custom work.
