Bang & Olufsen BeoTime Alarm Clock

Not just your average alarm clock, it's the Bang & Olufsen BeoTime Alarm Clock.

This flute-like design (the work of Steffen Schmelling) doesn't just tell the time and wake you up in the morning, it also doubles up as a rather stylish remote control, able to send all your B&O gear to standby at a given time or control all your kit, everything from your TV to your lighting. It even works as a unique desk clock, if you really want to show off and works with a wave of the hand.

Stylish, useful and very B&O, it doesn't come cheap at around £300, but if you have other B&O kit, it could be very useful.
