PHILLIPE STARCK HIGH TECH CLOCKS
by Jill Fehrenbacher
These ?ber high-tech clocks seem like the type of thing you should be able to find at the Sharper Image. In addition to keeping time and waking you up in the morning, these have every feature you could ever possibly want in a clock and then some: projection onto your ceiling, digital am/fm radio, current weather currents, a barometer, thermometer + hygrometer, and last, but not least: moon phases. And they were designed by Phillipe Starck. I assume this is an attempt by the technology company Oregon Scientific to add a little design cache to their brand, Or maybe they just wanted to get into the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, and partnering with Starck seemed the best way. Can’t say I blame them. The clocks aren’t bad either. I’d be happy to have one of these.

Do you happen to know how long those clocks have been avilable? I bought a similar ceiling projection clock two years ago, though mine wasn’t designed by Philipe Starck (well, what can you expect for 20 dollars?). Still a cool gadget though.
