This is a great and unique gift. The lights on the clock each have a value, and when you add them up you can tell the time. Those that work with computers all day long probably know how to read binary code. If not, it only takes a few minutes to learn and after a bit of practice you can glance at the clock and tell the time with little or no brain work required.
This item is a great ice breaker as those not in the know have no clue what it is. After you tell them, they want one! A great gift without question...
