What I like most about this clock is that it tells the exact time only for 40 seconds every hour.
At the whole hour it says “It is nine o’clock”, but ten seconds later it will add the phrase “or thereabouts” to it. It also does this at the quarters and at the half hours.
I especially like this in Dutch, where the added phrase is “pak ’m beet”.

@vasilis I need to get one for PerlBod who is incapable of giving an accurate answer when asked what time it is. The answer "9:15AM) could mean anything from 9:05AM to 9:25AM 😎
