Shadowplay uses your finger's shadow to tell the time

We've already seen some nice looking light clocks, but this one requires you to actually stick your finger in it to be able to tell the time.

Dotklok LED Clock

If there's a LED clock worth displaying in your living room, this is it. The Dotklok turns passing time into much more than simple numbers passing by.
Now, every minute will pass by with a cute transition/animation inspired in games like Pong, Tetris, Pacman, and Space Invaders.

You can build your own dotklok, as everything you need is publicly available. But, if you don't have the time/patience to spare, you can also buy a fully assembled one.
Of course, in that case, you'll be missing most of the enjoyment of building it yourself and saying to your friends (and yourself): "I made it!"

If Android is often considered to be fully customized to each user's preferences; which shouldn't you be able to create your own Android clock widget?

Well... indeed you can, thanks to this Make Your Own Clock widget app.

You can not only create widget clocks like these ones...

as you can even create a clock in roman numerals!

As you can see... it realy can't get any more customizable than this. :)

Time Stretching Lunch Clock

Ever wished your lunch hour to pass slower, so you could calmly eat and enjoy your meal?
Other than having to deal with relativistic theories of time stretching, a much easier solution is to replace your work clock by one of these lunch time clock that allows you to add an extra 12 minutes of lunch time to your lunch hour!

How does it work? It's quite simple: in the hour preceding your lunch hour (11 to 12h) it speeds up time by 20% so that during your actua lunch hour (12-13h) it can slow down time by the same amount. Meaning, you'll have a 20% longer lunch hour (12 minutes).

What are you waiting for? Even if you use it just as a prank to your colleagues and co-workers, I'm sure no one will complain about it! :)

Diacarta for iPhone - Simple Time Management

If you're looking for a new way to manage your time and can't get used to the usual time management layouts you find in the regular Apps, you need to check out this Diacarta for the iPhone.

It's quite simple; it uses plain pictograms that are shown around a clock, to give a instant and easy to understand glimpse of your allotted time.

I guess the only drawback is that the 12h clock isn't enough to show you a glimpse of your full 24h day tasks... but, it's definitely worth a look.

See it in motion:
