Introducing Watt Time – Light Bulb Shaped Alarm Clock
by nikki
New York, NY, August 25, 2009 — Today marks the official release of Watt Time – a community designed, light bulb shaped alarm clock.
Watt Time is such a great design that you may be convinced to stop using your smart phone’s alarm clock. Put down your iPhones and Blackberrys people, here’s an alarm clock that’s cool enough to use!
Watt Time is constructed out of high gloss plastic that allows the digital time display to shine through the bulb’s outer shell. A bright blue LED display illuminates the time and date at the base of the bulb. The design includes an easily accessible snooze button located on top of the bulb’s socket end so you can get those “5 more minutes” with a simple tap on the bulb. If the alarm sound is not enough to wake you, you also have the option of setting the bulb to illuminate when your alarm goes off.
Fear not, we’ve placed all set buttons discretely on the back of the bulb so as not to interfere with Watt Time’s overall simplicity and iconic design.
Watt Time is the eighth product designed and developed by the quirky community since quirky’s launch on June 2nd. quirky gives everyone the chance to get product ideas out of their heads and onto shelves. Each week quirky’s community collaborates to select and produce one new product idea. This week ends the development of Watt Time and it is now available for sale at quirky’s online store for $24.99.

Cool! Anyhow, the full press release for this product – Introducing Watt Time says that the DigiDude has “hit threshold” and is being “manufactured now.” However, the quirky site only shows 128 of 500 pre-sold, despite Ben’s hopeful August 11 pronouncement: “We think the DigiDude will do it in four!” Did it meet the threshold and nobody told us?

Oops. My bad. Make that “128 of 250 pre-sold.”

Too bad it doesn’t come in blue or I’d order the last two. Well, good luck with it.

As I see it, what makes an organisation truly global is a unifying global vision created with input from all the parts that make up its whole and that is then implemented by all these parts in ways that make sense in the different contexts. ,
