However, with the classic and the contemporary, come the weird and the wacky and while scouring the web we at Click-Clock.co.uk have found some rather unusual clocks that you possibly won’t have seen before or even considered as a feature in your home.

To waste a bit of time in your day, have a look at our favourite wacky designs which are sure to give you a good laugh.

A fruit-powered clock

Yes believe it or not but this is a fruit powered clock. It combines micro-electronic technology with natural electrical potential of fresh fruit and vegetables. Simply add a fresh orange, apple, lemon, lime, pear, banana, or any other type of convenient fruit or vegetable to the clock components and together you have a working clock with nature as its electrical power resource.

Digital Clock T-Shirt

This cool gadget works on the basis of 4 x AAA batteries using an electro luminescent panel at the front to display the time. The batteries are hidden inside the compartment and last between 12-36 hours depending on the flashing mode selected.

Water Powered Clock

The Water Powered Clock is powered by the very salt and water mixture that occupies 70 per cent of the earth’s surface. Without using batteries the eco-friendly clock keeps the exact time due to the electrodes usurping energy from the water. The clock simply needs to be filled with tap water and dependent on how salty your water is, you may need to add a tablespoon of salt. The water only needs to be changed every 2-3 weeks.
