It is said that most clocks made from salvaged hard drive platters are ugly, flimsy and suck. This one, replete with that 1970s-style computer font now only found on checkbooks, does not.
Instead of merely attaching a $1.99 Make Your Own Clock kit to a platter, the Harddisk-Uhr rotates the platter in the manner of a disk drive. The "read head," naturally enough, indicates the time.
