Seahope of Japan certainly knows how to tug at the heartstrings of geeks the world over with their latest offering, the Transformers LED clock watch from Takara Tomy. It seems that this is currently in the conceptual stage, but will be ready in time to hit the market when all factory lines are good and ready to go. Of course, we would definitely love to see this LED Transformer change from a watch to a stand-up clock, complete with the zany transformation sounds that most of us have come to be familiar with. How much do you think a shiny clock watch hybrid like this will cost?
Making clocks out of hard drives isn’t anything new. The hard drive platters make nice shiny backgrounds for your traditional analog clock, and provides just a little geek panache to an ordinary timepiece.

Waking up to a rooster’s crow in the morning is a bit too stereotypical for my tastes, but the tweeting of a small bird is the perfect alternative to morning show radio banter. This LED alarm clock from habitat features an electronic bird perched on top that not only moves, but also sings you out of your restful slumber. Get it from habitat.co.uk for about $30.
