For those who haven’t heard much about them, Resource Revival is a great concept of bringing forth innovative designs that are created by reusing used cycle parts. These cool clocks we have here are just one among the many recycled parts that have been put to some good use. They also have some cool retro bottle openers that are made using bicycle parts. These bring about the dawn of a new era of collectables for bicycle enthusiasts who have cravings for such goods. I have come across a bunch of little nobodies who had their ‘first bicycle ever’ actually suspended on their walls!

If you have always adored those cool cuckoo clocks that have the little plastic replicas of white cuckoos popping out every hour to alert you of the time then here’s a little more to the concept that may impress you. The Chococlock goes one step ahead with the concept of hourly updates and pops out a little chocolate candy for you every hour. You better be alert when the clock strikes else you may end up missing the treat for the next whole hour. It tests both, your ability to control your desires for chocolate long enough till the clock strikes an hour and your alertness to respond to an alarm that goes off without missing a second.

This surely is a rare combination, but if you can combine the craze of the Olympics with the hunger for classiness then you will surely fall for the Red Clock. The clock face is circular and plain white. With the hour marks replaced with stick figures playing the various sports that the games include. The stick figures are smartly illustrated in a manner that resembles Chinese alphabets. It has a red hanging below it that is reminiscent of house hangings in a Tokyo household. It indeed maintains the ethnic Chinese look with the classy aura that surrounds it. The Olympic logo is placed in between the clock, where the hands meet.

Telling the times isn't the only thing that watches and alarm clocks do these days. There’s always an extra bit of excitement hidden in the functionalities of timetellers and here we are with something for Star Wars fans. The alarm clock from I-Twin also features a couple of Ultra Loud speakers that can playback music at a rather loud volume (so… that’s good, isn't it?). Now you may wonder where the music will come from. You can connect any MP3 player to the clock. It also accepts iPod connectivity. The moment your music starts playing, the LCD Time display lights up. Other features include alarm snooze, digital time display and a heavy retro touch.

I dread those mornings when I need to wake up early but the beer from yesterday simply has a strange tranquilizing effect as it begins to take control over your senses and drop you into a hangover. So we have some interesting alarm clocks around the block that have implemented some crazy ideas that have resulted in breakages, damages and even pointless screaming by the ‘victims’ who eventually end up thanking the clock. The rocket launcher alarm clock works in the similar nerve. It starts a countdown the moment the alarm goes off. If you still do not wake up then the rocket is launched somewhere in the room. To stop the alarm you need to relocate the rocket and replace it on the clock.

You know when you see them that they are 100% male. This hunky watch is no different from a pair of rider's gloves. Besides the macho curves, it's also got a cool MP4 playback feature that can keep you entertained all through the day. 8GB of memory is enough to keep you swinging all through the journey to work. It supports WMA, JPG, WAV and MP3 media formats and has an e-book reader as well. The in-built mic helps you record all that you wish to record. It's got a 2.5 headphone jack but a 3.5 converter comes along with this one. You also have a brilliant 1.5 inch screen which is good enough for something of this size.

Oh yes we all remember that Forster Beer commercial that shows you how a person is awakened. Here’s something a little more gentlemanly. The butler alarm clock wakes you up with dignity and respect and can also give you that undeserved touch of importance every time it asks you to pardon it for the inconvenience. I like this one. it makes a great way to start a new day.

It can make a perfect gift to please your boss on his wedding day or anniversary. Just make sure that he doesn't already own a pair of these. It is effectively water resistant till depths of 165 feet. You don't have to worry about the power saving either as it comes with 24 hour power reserve.

The Spearmint Blue Fridge Clock is made from rubber and is capable of stubbornly sticking to your fridge door so that you don't miss out on even a second while keeping your fish in the frying pan. Believe me, it is hard work to run to another room to check on the time while cooking. It is also painful to watch an expensive wall clock get all covered in steam and soot. This one is made of rubber so there's minimal wear and tear possible to affect this one because of heat and other issues.

Eye Clock! How is that for a bad name? Well, these guys should have worked on that department. Anyway, the clock in itself is a smartly designed model of a human eye. It is basically a frame of brass curves that form the shape of the eye with the main mechanics of the clock in between. The Vitra Design Museum have put in some good thought in the design of this one. It seems both light and smart for someone seeking a decor with a minimalistic touch..

As memory sticks take some rather weird shapes and forms, How about this cool watch that is in fact a memory device in disguise. It has a memory capacity of about a gigabyte. What's really cool about the watch is that it isn't freakily large or bulky. In fact it is just about the size of a perfectly normal watch. This may come to the rescue of those who wish to smuggle a memory stick to work but are apprehended by the security at the gates. With this cool watch, those blokes won't even guess that a gigabyte of data has just been whisked out of there right under their noses!

Desk lamps are gradually populating gizmodude more that anything else these days. It simply gets too irresistible to take your eyes of these (and to ignore them without the appropriate word or two of praise). Here we have some amazing features as well. The lamp is shaped like a basketball and has a clock placed inside its belly as well. There's allegedly an alarm clock included in it as well.

Here's a cool concept product by Charles Windlin. Called the Watch Ring, it is basically a ring with a display screen that runs along its body. With a brilliant digital display, the ring also has a lower layer of gold that comes with it. I liked the design since it can be used by both sexes with equal elegance and style. There will just be the issue of treating the ring well, since I feel that it won't necessarily be as tough as a normal ring that is subject to a lot of rough treatment.

It's fine if you aren't a musician who has a coveted platinum album hanging on your wall to brag about. With the Golden Record Wall Clock you can have both, a beautiful shiny disc on your wall as well as a clock that's elegant and goes well with all your furniture. It works with a single AA battery. The disc clock is a perfect replica of a twelve inch LP. I wonder what happens when you try to play it. I mean, with all the sincerity in the design of this one, there can always be a thought spared for the true use of LPs.
