A present from my son. It gives a new way of looking at what time it is--there are analog timepieces, there are digital timepieces, and now there are binary timepieces. If a light is on only in the lowest row=1, light on only in second row=2, light on only in lowest two rows=3, light on only in third row=4, and so on. You can look at this clock as a simple amusement about different ways of seeing what time it is, and you can look at it and use it to help you contemplate how humans think/talk in different languages, and how those humans might think differently inside and never realize the many ways it is possible that other humans may think and perceive the world differently. After all, this clock is about telling one basic thing, time, in a different way than you ever have before. What about all the other experiences we humans may look at in different ways/ OK, down from the heavy stuff, it's a neat toy to put on your desk, yet still a reminder that there are a lot of different ways of looking at such basic things as "what time it is".

I am so happy with this clock. My friends at work don't even know how it works, which makes it all the more fun. It works great and tells you the time accurately (If you know how to read it that is) Thank you computer science class.

easy to understand. sometimes hard to read because the LED's blend together. great gift to give. i love it and so does my husband!!!!

A good looking gimmicky clock that in the right techy hands is a usable clock! Can display binary or BCD time.
