Verbarius: the pretentious clock with the pretentious name

art-lebedev-verbarius-clock.jpg

The Verbarius clock is the perfect item for your postmodern, ultrapretentious apartment. Look, it tells you the time in your native tongue, rather than having to decipher some arcane set of numbers. Numbers, pah!

It mixes things up for you as well, telling you the time in a variety of ways. Is it "quarter to twelve" or "eleven forty-five?" Perhaps it's really "fifteen minutes to noon." Who cares, it all means the same thing, right? It seems like the perfect way to make sure your kids get confused on the first day of school when they see a normal clock that doesn't spell the time out for them. The Verbarius clock is available for preorder now for about $160; if you wait 'til September it'll set you back $180.
