Meet the new and unusual QLOCKTWO, a clock that tells time not in numbers, but in words, from Biegert & Funk.  Here is the description of the item as we found it on the site of the manufacturers:  “QLOCKTWO has a quadratic matrix of letters, where some of the letters are illuminated. The time is displayed as text in five minute intervals. If you need to have a more exact time, look in the corner at the illuminated dots. QLOCKTWO has a brightness sensor; with its help the illuminating power of the letters is automatically adjusted “. The clock is available in a variety of colors, just choose the one that goes the best with your funky interior. It is also provided with a light sensor for easy adapting to the light changes in the room. The price ( 885 Euros) may seem a little steamy,  but this is because the clock is hand made. – via A2
