Biegert & Funk's beautiful QlockTwo Touch dispenses with hands and digits altogether, replacing them with words for a more cerebral time-telling experience.

While my brain is a bit too slow for a clock like this—I need the mental image of hands on a dial to grok time—I love that the display is made from a carefully-planned arrangement of permanent letters, like a word jumble, with options for English, German, French, Italian, Danish, Dutch, Russian and Spanish.

There's also a night light feature that illuminates the entire "board," though I wouldn't be able to sleep with this on; my eyes would be drawn to it and I'd keep automatically trying to read the word jumbles as continuous sentences.
