The World Clock by ElevenPlus is designed to tell the time from all around the world.
The clock is cylindrical, and has the names of various places around the world on its outside section. As such it tells the time in these areas by rolling, instead of staying in one place. The good thing is that people can roll the clock back to their preferred time zone, but it's still a great thing to see the time in other parts of the world. For those who have friends living abroad, this could also help for planning Skype chats a bit more efficiently.
The clock comes in three basic colors, making it go with a variety of interior settings.
