Maclock is an adorable desk clock for 1984 Macintosh lovers

Featuring three display modes, including one with Susan Kare’s original Happy Macintosh icon, this limited-edition scale recreation of the 1984 Mac is too cute to ignore.

’Keep 1984 on your desk’

This Kokogol project is described as “a salute to classics, reborn in pixels”. It features an LCD that imitates a CRT screen and has three display modes: Time Mode, Calendar Mode, and Easter Egg Mode, featuring Susan Kare’s Happy Mac icon.

The brightness of the display can be adjusted using a knob located at the bottom left of the clock, and the device promises a battery life of up to 60 days between charges, provided the backlight is turned off.

One fun aspect of the Maclock is that you need to insert a tiny floppy disk to turn it on, and both the floppy and the actual clock come with a set of stickers that help make the whole thing feel even more authentic.

One thing to note is that the Maclock isn’t as tiny as one might think. Measuring 3.15 x 3.58 x 4.41 inches (80 x 91 x 112mm), it will command a non-negligible footprint of space on your desk.

Kokogol notes that “this product is a limited production and is not available in stores. Will sell out fast.” So you may want to get your order in before it’s too late (even though it’s already widely available on online marketplaces).
