Technology: A Clock That Does It All

What happens when a chic industrial designer teams up with a leading maker of personal weather gauges? Consumers get a cool gizmo that not only looks sleek but works great too. The new Starck with Oregon Scientific weather clocks range in price from $75 to $300, and they're designed by Philippe Starck. The top model has a wide range of features, including projecting the time onto your ceiling and reporting the phase of the moon. The clock can also tell you the barometric pressure, humidity, predicted weather for the next 12 to 18 hours and the temperature and humidity, transmitted from a wireless sensor that you can place up to 90 ft. from the main unit.
