If you ‘get-it' the Binary Clock is not so much about telling the time, it’s all about being laidback and groovy. There are two types of Binary Clock people in this world - those who want to look really techno-savvy that they can actually tell the time on this thing or those who are so groovy they don’t need to know the time but want to show off the cool lights.

Nevertheless, despite the whole very-hard-to-tell-the-time drawbacks, this is one cool gizmo. And if you want to impress your mates about your knowledge of the binary system - here's how it works...

This gadget will demonstrate your powers of maths mastery (or not!) using the binary number system - the language of computers. The clock uses six columns of lights, each column represents a number value from 0-9. The 2 columns on the left indicate hours, the middle 2 are minutes, the right 2 are seconds. With us so far? The value of each column is determined by which lights are on. The bottom light if ON is worth '1. The one above it is worth "2"
