Designer LEXON Jet clocks do dot-matrix with style
It may not boast any fancy or slightly terrifying measures to haul you out of bed in the morning, or pack the DIY flavor of some clocks we seen, but if you just want to keep things simple and stylish you could certainly do a lot worse than one of these new LEXON jet clocks from designer Theo Williams. Available in wall/desk clock (pictured above), clock radio or travel alarm clock versions, the clocks each boast an electroluminescent backlit display, which lights up all your vital information (including the temperature) dot-matrix-style. You can also get the clocks in your choice of gold or brushed aluminum finishes, although it seems that only the wall clock model is available right now, with it setting you back €45 (or just under $70).

This thing deserved a write-up on Engadget? Really?? It's a frakkin alarm clock.

Now, imagine if it had an Apple logo...

This is a very nice clock that I would have otherwise never heard about. It sounds like the internet crybabies didn't get enough sleep this weekend!
enezi.khalid @ Mar 24th 2008 1:26PM
i mean seriously, do we really care???????????:)

And what is shown is nothing like "dot-matrix- style". No dots. No matrix. No style.

It's an electronic gadget so I suppose it has more right to be on here than a packet of seeds or a Gucci handbag.
No-one put a gun to your head a said 'read the fucking article!' Grow up!

no kidding. what a bunch of whiners.
that brushed aluminum looks nice - but the gold is pretty gaudy.

The travel clock is 32 euros and looks quite nice too
Nikkoli @ Mar 24th 2008 2:33PM
I'd buy it.

Bucking the trend - I like it. Thanks for posting, Engadget.

If this was twice the size (french webstore, selling things measured in inches, I love it) it would actually be useful as a table/wall-clock. You would not have to squint at it from a distance. I'd love to see a big, tasteful (ergo reduced, likely not littered with info apart from time/date), silent, battery-operated clock. Any hints?

What's up with the 1 and the 0 each missing a dot?
Lunkwil @ Mar 24th 2008 6:54PM
The missing pixels on some of the numbers comes from the fact that it's not really a dot matrix display but a regular 7 segment display with the segments made to look like dot matrix. Just like many cheap car stereos and similar. Either that or the designer actually emulated a 7 segment display for some strange reason, but I doubt that since the "N" has triangular "dots".

you rapscallions aren't even old enough to know what dot matrix is! (and this aint it!)
Jeff @ Mar 24th 2008 6:23PM
dot matrix
noun [usu. as adj. ]
a grid of dots that are filled selectively to produce an image on a screen or paper.
fargo @ Mar 24th 2008 8:17PM
wow. i like engadget but this feels like advertising . . . really out of place
Brian @ Mar 24th 2008 4:29PM
I sctually like it...
Ben @ Mar 24th 2008 4:41PM
Yay! Christmas has come early!
Al @ Mar 26th 2008 12:10PM
