WELCOME TO WHIMSICAL WATCHES & COCKAMMIE CLOCKS
"I'm Late, I'm Late for a very important date..." (from the lyrics to "Alice in Wonderland"). Just think, all that fuss could have been avoided if that rambunctious rabbit had worn a whimsical watch for pity's sake!
So, without further ado, here's a rather fine collection of titillating timepieces and cockamammie clocks.
I'LL LOVE YOU TIL THE END OF TIME...
If love and time are eternal, isn't it a tad ironic that this "I LOVE YOU TIL THE END OF TIME" clock had a dead battery therefore could no longer keep track of the time, (let alone who the lovers were)? TITILLATING TIMEPIECES FOR THE TIME-CHALLENGED
Not getting to the church on time or having the time of your life? Perhaps you need a cockamammie clock, whimsical watch, titillating timepiece.Frankly the notion that "time is money" is just a tad depressing. Instead, what you need is a comical chronometer, a playful pocket watch, or at the very least a snickering stop watch.
The notion of time has fascinated the imagination of scientists, philosophers and artists, not to mention the rest of us who punch the clock every day, (which is all the more reason to make light of it as much as we can while we're on planet earth).
A TERRIFIC TIME-WASTER FOR THOSE WITH WONKY WATCHES
A TREASURY OF TEE-HEE TIMEPIECES
The countdown to Happy Hour Clock!
The end of time?
A flimsy clock is an excuse to waste time!
So what time did you take your little blue pill?
Who says time doesn't fly?
Oh no ...not that singing alarm clock chef...please!
It's Crouch time!
An alarming thing...a pig on a john?
For those who have difficulty keeping track of time!
How green does your clock grow?
A stitch in time saves nine...minutes or hours?
An environmentally-friendly clock of course!
A crazy clock for 24 Hour Party People!
Time to slew me a wild beast or two.
Oh get a grip...it's just a water clock!
A rather fishy timepiece!
How time melts away when visiting Kew Gardens.
It's a Roman Number Clock silly!
I'll wait for you til the cows come home!

POCKETWATCH POLL
A MOSTLY HARMLESS WATCH
"Arthur was very fond of it. It was a better one than he would ever have afforded himself. He had been given it on his twenty-second birthday by a rich and guilt-ridden godfather who had forgotten every single birthday he had had up till then, and also his name. It had the day, the date, the phases of the moon; it had 'To Albert on his twenty-first birthday' and the wrong date engraved on the battered and scratched surface of its back in letters that were still just about visible.The watch had been through a considerable amount of stuff in the last few years, most of which would fall well outside the warranty. He didn't suppose, of course, that the warranty had especially mentioned that the watch was guaranteed to be accurate only within the very particular gravitational and magnetic fields of the Earth, and so long as the day was twenty-four hours long and the planet didn't explode and so on. These were such basic assumptions that even the lawyers would have missed them.
Luckily his watch was a wind-up one, or at least, a self-winder. Nowhere else in the Galaxy would he have found batteries of precisely the dimensions and power specifications that were perfectly standard on Earth."
Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless, William Heinemann Ltd., London, 1992, pp. 128-129.
CRAZY HOURS WATCH FOR WEIRD WORKERS
For those who are tired of wearing decidedly unprententious ugly plastic watches, there is a stunningly serendipitous time-piece waiting for you.It's like jumping through the rabbit hole and ending up in Alice in Wonderland's back nine.
This whimsical watch designed by Franck Muller of Switzerland features mixed up hours on the face plate. The hour hand jumps to the correct hour while the minute hand functions as normal. By challenging convention, this novel nitwit obliges us to stare longer and appreciate time (when we have nothing better to do than waiting for Godot).
For only $17,900 you too can own a Crazy Hours Watch, available from Franck Muller.

BATTY BOOKMARKS FOR THOSE TIRED OF WAITING FOR GODOT
WANTED: ONE CLEVER CLOCK
Since the beginning of time, human beings have hankered for several things: ice cream with 42 flavors and chocolate sprinkles on top, magic cream that would remove wrinkles, sagging skin, and regrow lost hair, and a clever clock that could go backwards.The only way to get what you want is to ask for it. So without further ado, here's my letter to the Head Honcho of Heaven.
Dear Dude,
Since you came up with that hot idea during the "Great Flood" of building Noah's Ark to save the animal kingdom one creature at a time, it shouldn't be too much trouble for you to come up with a way to turn back time on this puny planet called Earth.
So, if you could put your thinking cap on and get your marbles moving that would be super. I'd appreciate it if you could come up with a clever clock, in time for Christmas 2008, (because by then the stock market will be in the tank, I'll have lost my job, and the factory that makes my favorite ice-cream will have gone out of business).
Signed,
Hugo Yahootamus
Your Faithful Friend
