What do an Imperial Walker and a vinyl record have in common? They can be put together to make a clock. It’s so obvious!
Okay, maybe not, but the end result is neat. This clock is hand cut from a random record and made to order. If you like the Star Wars vehicle without the clock parts you can just order the wall decoration version.

I had no idea Star Wars vehicles could look so classy. This timekeeper manages to clock in at 11 on the nerdy scale and look like a piece of sleek, subtle art. The Etsy seller fashions the clocks from vintage Action Fleet Micro Machine toys. That line featured the Falcon, a sandcrawler, an AT-AT, and more (as you can see above). The pieces are plastic and lightweight but painted to look like pewter. Genius. Customization takes 9-14 days.

Haroon Baig has taken the Twitter obsession a step further by turning it into this concept cuckoo clock which utilizes Chumby guts to constantly check for new status updates or search results from the Twitter API. When new tweets are displayed, the Twitter mascot will pop out of the clock and alert you with a cuckoo sound. Check out a video of the clock in action after the break.
As you can see, the important work on this word search clock has already been done for you. However, there are other words mixed into the puzzle that have yet to be uncovered. It’s the perfect diversion while you stare at the clock waiting for quittin’ time.
