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 36.5cm wide and 23cm tall this is a proper statement piece, you won't miss it across the room.
It keeps perfect time without WiFi, Bluetooth, or an app. Unbox it, plug it in — 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.
