Bonsai Gear Clock

Of course, there's really no big reason why it looks like that other than for aesthetics. But for the Japanese who view bonsai as a work of art, this baby has its charms.

Actually, even I think it's quite an exquisite piece of work. A set of clock gears designed to look like a bonsai, this clock could fit in the classiest of classy homes. The Bonsai Gear Clock runs on 2 D batteries, with its gears made of plastic, its stem of metal, and its base of wood. Best of all, it only costs £45, which I think is a steal considering that some Japanese wristwatches cost a lot more.
