HeadsUp Design Hawcoo Clock

The Astronomical Clock

Advantages: Display is free to watch, the clock tower itself is beautifully designed
Disadvantages: The display is not as impressive as I thought it would be

itself was fairly disappointing. I was expecting maybe a 5 or 10 minute display from the clock when it reality, the whole display probably lasted a maximum of 30 seconds which I felt was a little disappointing. One added bonus to this attraction is that you can pay about £2.50 to go up inside the Clock Tower which we found interesting. You can either take the lift, or walk up the spiral staircases and from the top of here, you can get stunning views across the City of Prague. Inside the tower, you can also see the inside of the clock such as all the components that make up the clock. You can also see all the apostles waiting for the hour to chime before they put on their show. I would recommend a trip to the Clock purely to admire the work that has been put into creating it, and all the Gothic statues that decorate it. Be warned though ...

Review of Astronomical Clock, Olomouc

Great sunrise clock

Advantages: Features sunrise and sunset settings.
Disadvantages: High price, have to dim light until its off.

The benefits of this alarm clock I personally believe will vary from person to person. It basically is an alarm clock doubled up with a bedside lamp. The main feature of this device is it will switch its lamp on 30 mins before the alarm goes off and slowly glow to full brightness. The idea being that it simulates a sun-rise which in theory is supposed to encourage your brain to release chemicals associated with waking up. The benefits of this function will be most useful to people suffering S.A.D symtoms and individuals working shifts. I personally bought this product because I do shifts and i must admit it has helped, in particular with dark winter mornings, it helps bring you to a more alert state as it casts a nice bright light into your room. A second feature is the same as above but in reverse, the device will create ...

Review of Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

Clock Patience

Advantages: Passes the time
Disadvantages: Tries your patience

O.K. so you're sat at home waiting for that momentous occasion to arrive and you've still got an hour to kill and you're bored out of your skull. Well grab a pack of cards, clear the table and have a game of Clock Patience. Why Clock Patience? Well everybody plays Solitaire so be different. Er! You don't know how to play. O.K. Listen up. Shuffle the pack and start to lay the cards face down on the table as a clock face. Start at one o'clock and work your way round to twelve o'clock and the thirteenth card goes in the middle. Do that again until you've used up all the cards. What you've still got two left. Didn't take the jokers out did we? To play. Select one of the cards in the middle and turn it over. Whatever number it is it goes in the clock at that time. So you turned up a six so it goes under the four ...
