What better way to get information about nature’s rhythms (time and weather) than from a piece of wood. This sounds entirely logical to us. The WoodStation is a skillful blend of natural materials and display technology. The body of the WoodStation is made from wood and located inside is a clever LED display that mysteriously projects through the wood. When you get close to the Woodstation, a motion sensor will detect your presence and turn on the display. When turned off, it looks like a modern wooden sculpture.

The display will indicate the indoor temperature and humidity, as well as the time and date. WoodStation will also show one of five weather icons (sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy or stormy). An alarm is also included, with snooze – perfect for those cold and rainy days where getting out of bed just seems like a bad idea.

The Qlocktwo is a simple, cerebral, no-nonsense, and undeniably Teutonic-flavored timetelling device designed by German firm Biegert & Funk. How it works should be completely obvious by the photo. Also, you gotta love the Dieter-from-Sprockets product explanation video:

Tell the time… but be triple-nine about it. Regular numerals are too easy.
