Thanks for Everything! It's been a heck of a run!

Hi everyone! Awkward Engineer has been a blast. For the time being, we're nearly out of stock on everything, with no immediate plans to resupply. As I've gotten busier with my day job, I haven't needed Awkward Engineer to the same degree as a creative and entrepreneurial outlet.

In the meantime, I plan to maintain the site as a portfolio of work and I would like to continue non-commercial development of projects.

And who know. Never say never. We may be back :-)

Model AWK-105 Analog Voltmeter Clock

$99.00 Sale

The AWK-105

The Voltmeter Clock uses dual analog meters to tell time - one for hours and and one for minutes. It's both stylish and functional!

How to Read the Clock

Think of the Clock as replacing digital LCD's with analog readouts. Instead of seeing 04:57, the hours meter will point to the 4 and the minutes meter will point to 57. Just like a clock rolls over at midnight and noon, the time meters rolls over zero.

The Technical Stuff

At Awkward Engineer, we love geeking out over the technical stuff. Here's some of the details of what the Clock is made of.

Quick Specs

  • approx 6" x 4" x 2"

  • ATtiny44 main CPU
  • dual analog meters
  • mode select knob - modes include: time set, calibrate meter 1, calibrate meter 2, and "twitchy needle" display mode

Model AWK-105AL Analog Voltmeter Alarm Clock

$189.00 Sale

After a successfully funded Kickstarter last year, we're back with the Analog Voltmeter Alarm Clock.

The AWK-105AL Alarm Clock vs. The AWK-105

 The key differences between the AWK-105AL and the original AWK-105 are as follows.

  • Alarm vs. No Alarm
  • USB powered vs. Battery Powered
  • Backlight Option vs. No Backlight
  • AM/PM indicator vs. no indicator

ATTENTION: International Buyers

The Clock is USB powered and ships with a North American style USB wall wart power adapter. We're small and can't manage the SKU's to keep power adapters for each country, but because it's USB powered, you should be able to easily plug in to one of your own!
