Rise and Sizzle: The Wake n’ Bacon Alarm Clock

I love the smell of napalm bacon in the morning. New York designer Matty Sallin has created an alarm clock that wakes you up with the sweet smell and sizzle of cooking bacon. Not intended for Jews.

Here’s how it works:

A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n’ Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

Minutuner – A New Generation Clock Design

Minutuner is a alarm clock concept by Antrepo Design Industry that sees the passing of time as a linear flow, much like a progress bar on a media player. The minimalistic design shows the hour boldly on the left hand side and the minutes are shown by a line indicator that travels down the bar. Five colour options are planned (red, yellow, blue, orange or green) and Antrepo are looking for partners to help with production.
