Bigtime — Space Invaders Edition
All prices shown are ex VAT and the product carries a 1-year warranty.
PRE-ORDER — Ships in 1 week
This is the one for people who know. A hand-built, DCF77 radio-controlled ePaper clock with a Space Invaders faceplate faithful to the original 1978 Taito cabinet. Alien formation on teal bezel, three-layer filament-swap construction. In the top left corner, a Space Invaders sprite tells you whether it's BST or GMT. Included with every clock is a hand-finished Space Invader and a TAITO badge with easel — display them together or separately. At 36.5 cm wide and 23 cm tall this is a proper statement piece.
Radio signal note: This clock automatically synchronises to the European DCF77 radio time signal (mainly received across Europe). Outside of DCF77 coverage the clock still keeps accurate time, and can be set manually with the button or from any phone's web browser (no app needed). Check DCF77 coverage for your area by clicking here.
It keeps perfect time without home Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or an app. Unbox it, stand it up — it's already set and syncs automatically to the DCF77 atomic time signal once a week to stay accurate.
No app. No Bluetooth. No setup. Just big digits — and aliens.
