Product Description
Here?s the first clock that leaves an impression of the time by raising and lowering specific metal pins. Perhaps you remember the classic pin toy that leaves an impression of your hand in pins. This uses the same idea to display time. A precision-engineered mechanism lifts and retracts selected pins to display hours and minutes. It produces a satisfying click sound with every number change?similar to the sound of “flipping? seen at old-fashioned train station arr… More >>
This clock looks is great. I can’t remember where I saw it first (Maybe a music video) but I’ve wanted one ever since. It showed up and I fell in love with it until one minute after I turned it on. This clock makes an annoying clicking sound every minute when the pins move. It is now a lovely addition to my bathroom where it will annoy me the least.

I love this clock. I got it for my brother for christmas to put in his office and I know he’ll like it as well. My son and I were instantly mesmerized watching the numbers change, which is way cool. Yes, it does make a little noise and the numbers are hard to see in the dark, so I wouldn’t recommend it as a clock for the bedstand. But taking it for what it is, it is a fantastic novelty clock.

This is a Christmas gift so it hasn’t been given yet. I love dealing with Amazon. They’re efficient and timely on shipping. It’s so convenient and easy.
The only thing I would have liked about this product was if it came with an adapter. It runs on batteries.

This is a decent clock. It looks solid, is easy to set, and will mesmerize anyone who sees it. That said, be forewarned that it is a bit noisy. I work in a cubicle at work, and decided against using this as my work clock because there is a definite and audible CLICK sound each minute. When you’re the only one who hears it, you learn to tune it out, but I could tell my co-workers would not be thrilled by it. Another thing you can’t quite tell from the image or the description is that the entire face of the clock is not made of pins–only the actual part of the face that has the numbers has pins that slide in and out. Don’t know if this will matter to you, but the rest of the face is just made to *look* like it’s made of pins. This sounds like I don’t like the clock–I do, and would buy it again, but the sound really is an issue you should consider if you live or work with anyone who gets annoyed by repetitive sounds.

The Pin Clock idea is really great. It is a definite conversation piece. It’s only short comings are that it is noisy and appears to be made out of relatively cheap parts; which makes me concerned about the longevity of the device.
