Throwback Desk Clock

Rated 4.9 by 1,800+ customers
Every clock on your desk looks the same.
Boring rectangle. Blends into the background. Nobody glances at it twice, let alone comments on it.
But you still remember exactly what it felt like the first time that boxy beige computer booted up in your school computer lab, and a tiny smiley face looked back at you.
Nothing on your desk gives you that feeling anymore.
Slide the disk in. Watch it wake up.
Insert the floppy disk
The same disk slot from the original, except this time it's the power switch. Slide it in, and the clock turns on.
The smiley face boots up
The exact same friendly little face from 1984. It's the first thing you'll see, every single time you power it on.
It gets to work
Time, date, day of the week, and room temperature, all readable at a glance, plus a full alarm clock.

Questions before you bring one home
Is this an actual clock, or just something cute to look at?
It's a real, working digital clock. The screen shows the time, date, day, and room temperature, and it doubles as a full alarm clock. The nostalgia is the bonus, not the whole product.
How do I even turn it on?
Slide the included floppy disk into the drive on the front. The screen boots up with the same smiley face from the original. Pull the disk out, and it powers down.
Does it need batteries?
No. It has a built-in rechargeable battery that charges over USB-C, cable included. On a full charge, it can run for weeks with the backlight off.
Will it actually look good on my desk, not just in a themed room?
It's designed to sit next to modern gear without looking out of place, a laptop, a mechanical keyboard, a gaming setup, or a plain wooden desk. The warm beige shell and rainbow logo do the work on their own.
What if it shows up and it's not what I pictured?
You have 90 days to decide. If it doesn't earn its spot on your desk, it's covered by our refund guarantee.
Is this better as a gift, or should I just get one for myself?
Both. It's a genuinely fun gift for anyone who remembers the original, and plenty of people end up keeping the first one and buying a second later as a gift.
Your childhood computer is waiting.
Slide the disk in. Watch the smiley face boot up. Watch everyone else's face do a double take right after yours did.
