There are times when a chap simply can't get enough of the time. Time to get up. Get the shower on. Get the old shoelaces tied. Get to the bus. And so on. Now the time, in either GMT or BST formats, can be your constant companion through life, thanks, at least, to this natty Daylight Projection Clock. Those dashed innovative fellas at Oregon Scientific have pushed the scientific boat out yet again, with a clock that not only has good looks on its side, but accuracy, too.

With everything you'd expect from an alarm clock, including a two minute crescendo alarm and 8 minute snooze, not to mention an indoor temperature display, this is a fully-featured beauty that will take your breath away. But its cleverness doesn't stop with its timekeeping functionality. For not only can one rotate the projection head device some 180 degrees for optimal flexibility, there's magic at the heart of its control functionality, too. An inbuilt light sensor automatically adjusts the intensity of the display beam to suit the environment. One can also simply wave a hand at this clock to amend its display mode or activate its snooze function - which is a touch handy when you wish to succumb to the forces of gravity for just a few minutes longer.
