In an era where computers can be found in everything from your phone to your keychain, an item like the Pixel Time Wall Clock becomes an object of retro tech design. Sold by Perpetual Kid, this playful timepiece can be appreciated by all who are grateful for the digital groundwork laid in the early days of computing.
Measuring 12 inches in diameter, this bit of information-age memorabilia is a great accessory for an office, and equally appropriate for the bedroom of an obsessive gamer. It's form is near-circular, defined by a series of joined black squares and filled with a solid white dial. Smaller pixels indicate the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th hours, while short minute and hour hands make the Pixel Time Wall Clock a rare example of a digital rotary chronometer.
