Bang & Olufsen's 'BeoTime' alarm clock looks just like a flute--and that's the intention. What's neat about BeoTime is that it's equipped with an accelerometer that's tethered to the snooze function to turn on the snooze timer when the clock is moved. No more batting blindly at tiny buttons with this bad boy!
Bang & Olufsen's 'BeoTime' will cost about $375, which is a bit pricey for an alarm clock. Fortunately, BeoTime can also switch other alarm-equipped Bang & Olufsen A/V products on and off. Check out some other amazing alarm clocks below.
