The clock called Ferrolic by Dutch designer Zelf Koelman is like a lava lamp clock that does not emit light. The magnetic fluid (a black fluid with magnetic particles suspended in it) within an aluminum casing is attracted to the clock’s electromagnets to form the numbers.

Wristwatches haven’t really changed that much since they were first invented. They still consist of a single timepiece and a single band that allows you to attach the watch to your wrist.

The Apple Watch, like most of the company’s earlier products, has begun to spawn a cottage industry of paraphernalia: mostly stands, cases, and watch bands.
