Maclock

A simple alarm clock that looks like a miniature version of the first Macintosh from 1984.

This cute gadget allows you to read the time, date, temperature (accurate to 0.5°C) or display the classic smiling face from the "happy Mac" icon visible when starting up the computer. The main function is, of course, the alarm clock, which can be set to operate on selected days of the week.
The whole thing is operated by a knob and buttons cleverly hidden on the front of the device. You can turn the backlight on or off at any time by touching the top part near the handle and change the brightness level with the knob, just like on a real Macintosh.
The internal 18650 battery allows operation without the need for a power supply, and the need to recharge can be recognised by the flashing battery icon in the corner. When the battery is low, the screen backlight cannot be turned on.

Maclock is in no way affiliated with Apple, but the set includes a sheet of stickers to choose from, both with trademarks and more generic ones. Of course, I couldn't resist and stuck on the ones that made it look as much like a real Mac as possible, albeit in miniature.
