Time Cube

I'm glad objects in my parents house give you amusement... ;)

You know they exist now, so it adds little to say that I owned one as a child... except that the little yellow button on top produces the feeblest light from the right of the display, oh, and time is cubic, obv.

I used to own one of these clocks too! Are they really still in production?

I had one of these. It was actually the best alarm clock I've ever owned. The volume of the beeping was just right (not so loud that I jump out of my skin every morning, like one alarm I now own), the 4 minute snooze was optimal (and infinite), it was easy to find the snooze button on the top surface (and easy to find the top surface in the dark), and best of all, you could set the alarm time very quickly and easily, because holding down the minute button scrolled at just the right rate. Somehow, it seemed to be best balanced alarm I've had, and I've been consistently disappointed with new ones ever since. Mine was a birthday present from my parents when I was about 12, I guess. I was, initially, disappointed to find that it didn't directly tell you the time all around the world (you just work it out yourself by swivelling the plastic bit on the top around), but over the years, I came to love this clock. No idea what's happened to it now - hopefully it's up in the attic somewhere. I'll have to take a l

I have one of these little babies - in love is the word you're looking for!!! The only thing is the light on the top stopped working after a couple of years. I still use mine now and it has been in daily use for nearly 20 years. It is looking a bit tatty now though and i am dying to find another one. If anyone can help i'd be really grateful.

I've got one of these – my sister bought it for me for either Christmas or my Birthday (I can't remember which now). It must be well over 20-years old now – and it IS definitely the best alarm-clock I've ever owned!

The snooze/light function just packed-up this morning (which is a shame – I do like my 'snooze' in the mornings!) but hey, otherwise it's still working...

: - )

Due to the snooze function 'giving up the ghost' this morning, I thought I'd try online to see if they still made these – it's a shame that that looks like a big 'N-O'; if they still did, I'd have rushed through an order for another like 'pronto'... I DO like my 'snooze' in the mornings, you know!!!

I am also a proud owner of a dailymate TIME CUBE. It came from Argos and my mother bought it for me when I went to secondary school.

I personalised it with glow in the dark ghostbusters 2 stickers. Sadly the alarm no longer sounds and the stickers no longer glow but I can still find out the time in Peking or Calgary.

Ha... just searching ebay for a replacement... I've had mine for over 30 years and the alarm clock is still working.. battery seems to last for years.. It's suffered so many knocks and several countries.. really is my time cube.. Cheers Dave

My Dad brought me this clock from Argos in Liverpool back in 1987 and I still wake to its alarm today.That little cube has been around the world with me and its still working perfectly.I did take it apart a few years back and managed to repair the light and alarm ,so here s to many more years of timekeeping with my cube shaped "mate"

Just found the battery lid for my TIME CUBE while digging out my old Playmobil for my son. Only then i realized using this alarm clock all my life. Must have lost the lid back in the 80s. I totally agree to the advantages you put out - but how could one get along with only 4 minutes of snoozing ?? My all black TIME CUBE gives me 6 minutes - thats the perfect time. Allows you another little dream that you could never reach in 4 minutes. And not lets you fall back too deep like 8 minutes.
