Make no mistake, adorning your
party with gadgetry that not only amps up the atmosphere but simultaneously exalts your geekness is no new
trend, but the Party Timer
clock / informative display takes ubiquitous party monitoring to a new dimension. The LED-packed device sports a fairly attractive enclosure and simply displays the time whenever work has got you down, but if any of the internal ambient noise sensors start recognizing sustained levels of increasing sound, it can switch into its own zoot suit and give your guests the skinny. While in
Party Mode, the clock morphs into an informative display that shows No Party when there's no sustained noise above ten decibels, but for eight additional ranges, the device flips through Romantic Party (11 to 20 db), Talking Party (21 to 50 db), Lite Party (52 to 70 db), Music Party (71 to 90 db), Dance Party (91 to 100 db), Club Party (101 to 120 db), Mega Party (a dangerous 121 to 160 db), and if you're still alive to notice, Atom Party shows up when things get pegged above 161 db. Click on through for a few closeups of this rave must-have.

Seems to be a nice clock. The pictures look pretty cool. Usefulness factor = 0
It shouldn't just do decipals to judge a party. They should have included a BPM counter as well.
Looks like a cool clock though! if it were under $30 I'd buy one, but I doubt it will be.
The "atom party" sign is surely useful; since when your party will have reached that level your hearing will be completely gone forever and you will therefore need the device to know how "good" the party REALLY is.
Jackhammer anyone? :D
wtf is a romantic party?
Can these hook up onto your belt buckle? Cause I've seen something like these at massives.. but I like the idea...
Sadly, anyone with one of these devices won't be at a rocking party and therefore the usefulness factor, as stated by Adeel, will be 0.
This actually looks pretty cool I am very attracted to it for some reason and am not even the party animal type :S

apparently this party clock is only a concept but it would be nice if it was real.
Oh man, I would never buy one of these. The constant display of NO PARTY :( would get really depressing...
"They should have included a BPM counter as well."
...babes per minute?
Ain't no party like a Scranton party.
aint no party like a Bethlehem party
any idea on a price for this raver amazer?
yea after a couple of hours at 130 db you can go ahead and just cut the music off cause you will be deaf.
Is the baseline for measurement 0 dB? If so, good luck having No Party or getting it on with Romantic Party.
what a sad sad life
