VIDEO: THE OCTOPOD IS AN OCTOPUS CLOCK YOU WILL DEFINITELY WANT...

The Octopod is an innovative steampunk timepiece. Thanks to the ingenuity of Swiss designers, you can now get the Octopod that is a luxury table clock that mounts the inner workings of a high-end mechanical clock on eight finely articulated legs. 

Co-created by MB&F, the Octopod gives you the time, but that is not really the point: time is a secondary benefit. The Octopod timepiece will remind you of an underwater adventure, and the piece itself is pretty stunning to behold. 28cm tall, including its posable legs, the clock mechanism is viewable through a bubble-like glass sphere. It is available in three different colours – black, blue and silver – with each colour limited to 50 units. 

This octopus-inspired robot clock would be a stunning centrepiece for any home. (So long as you can still afford to buy chairs to go with it.) The Octopod goes for $36,200 and can be purchased on MB&F’s website.
