I recently finished putting together my alarm clock/timer kit from Denkimono, it’s a beautiful, high quality, useful kit.
At $67.29 it’s not a cheap kit but well worth it - once your done assembling it you not only have the satisfaction of having put it together your also left with one of the most a unique alarm clocks/timers around, though I wouldn’t go to any airports with it. I received my kit promptly (ships from London) all the parts were well packaged and instructions for assembly of the kit were clear. After assembly I did have a problem with some of the segments not lighting up so I e-mailed Denkimono about the problem, received a prompt reply and through a series of e-mails we were able to get the kit fully functional (part of the problem was my lack of soldering skills). All in all a great kit to build and use. I’d like to get another and see if I can get it in a case.
Check out denkimono.com for a full list of features and a demo video
P.S. - If soldering isn’t your thing Denkimono also offers the kits fully assembled.

Many years ago I repaired a General Electric clock for a friend; it had a keypad for setting the clock but none of the other features of the Denkimono. When I realized the convenience of it all, I tried ,to no avail, buying the clock and offered $100 USD.
I inquired to GE and received no response.
Now comes Denkimono. I hope that this clock does not fall through the slats as they claim to be out of stock at this time ( 01/07/07 ).
I want one badly !!!

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the comment, I e-mailed Mark (who makes the Denkimono clock/timer kit) regarding their availability:
So, sounds like they should be available soon!
