what would you do with a broken turntable?
recycling it as a wall clock is a good idea

OK, this is not supposed to be here, but I was not able to resist. Maybe I've listened too much Cerrone nowadays, hehehe. Yes, Chromochrome has nothing to do with music. It's not an instrument or a music player. Chromochrome is a clock. Clocks usually have hands or digits to indicate the time. Chronochrome is different: it uses colours to represent hours, minutes and seconds. Chronochrome is a clock that tells the time with its six luminous coloured rings representing the six digits of the twenty-four hour clock, starting at 00:00:00 (midnight) and going all the way through to 23:59:59 (one second before midnight 24 hours later. At any moment in time each ring shows one of nine different colours to represent the numbers from one to nine. An unlit ring represents 0. Got it? Clear?

So how do you wanna be woken up in the morning? By a stunning woman, a handsome man? Breakfast in bed? I'll pass on that one and go with the audio geek version ;) This recently unearthed project by designer Stéphane Vigny combines a Swiss cuckoo clock and a loudspeaker to create what is pretty much the most awesome cuckoo clock ever.
