The Clock Every Audio Engineer Is Going To Want In Their Recording Studio

If you want to take your love of retro to the extreme then this clock by Awkward Engineer may be what you have been looking for all your life. 

Awkward Engineering have designed the Model AWK-105 Analog Voltmeter Clock, it uses two VU style meters to represent the hours and minutes of a clock.

After a successful Kickstarter project they now have the Analog Voltmeter Clock for sale on their website.

How to Read the Clock

Think of the Clock as replacing digital LCD's with analog readouts. Instead of seeing 04:57, the hours meter will point almost to the 4 and the minutes meter will point to 57. Just like a clock rolls over at midnight and noon, the time meters rolls over zero.

The Technical Stuff

At Awkward Engineer, we love geeking out over the technical stuff. Here's some of the details of what the Clock is made of.
