The Tyrant Alarm Clock by Alice Wang is certainly one cruel piece of machinery, although to inflict it’s damage, you, as the owner, have to prepare it dish out punishment. We’ve seen some fun concepts when it comes to alarm clocks such as clocky and the puzzle alarm clock, but compared to the Tyrant Alarm Clock, these other two alarm clocks do not have any teeth.
I really enjoy all the creativity and effort that goes into designing unique gadgets that assist with one of the most challenging parts of the day….waking up. For some, this can be downright impossible, especially if you’re a night owl that stays up for the better part of the night and then need to be up at the crack of dawn for an early morning power meeting.
We’ve seen some rather interesting design concepts when it comes to unique alarm clocks, everything from clocks being encapsulated in foam and needing to be thrown again the wall just to turned off, all the way to the puzzle clock which as the name implies, requires the completion of a puzzle prior to the alarm turning off.
On the surface, the puzzle alarm clock looks as easy as pie to complete. With only 3 large geometric shapes to place in the correct spots to solve the puzzle and shut the alarm, how can something like this wake you in the morning?
The challenge of completing this puzzle is not just in placing the pieces in the correct spots but also in finding the pieces.
Picture this. It’s early morning. You’re sleeping soundly in your bed under your cozy blankets. The alarm rings. Upon ringing, the alarm clock will shoot the 3 puzzle pieces up in the air. Before you can turn the alarm off, you will probably need to get out of bed, just to find the three pieces.
Once you’ve found them, it’s a matter of placing them back on the clock before it will turn off.
By the time you’ve gone through this process, I’m pretty sure you’ll be bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready for the day ahead.
