Event Horizon our newest chime clock.

Created by Barry Gamble

Automatically chimes on the hour. Visualize it on your coffee table. With your guests saying, "What is it?"

Great Wedding, Anniversary, or Graduation gift.

There are two version of the Event Horizon.

Price guess $99 with black sides and $119 with blue mirror sides

They function the same, same 5 – 7/8" Diameter size

Design should be done in October being ready for Christmas 2015

When rocked or tilted 45 degrees left or right they chime out the complete time to the minute -- first the hours, then the 10's of minutes, then the minutes, with a sweet dinner bell sound. White lights march around the edge with the chime.

Just tilt left or right to hear the chimes tell time.

The gift where the giver is truly remembered.

Activated by your tilt, Event Horizon softly & sweetly chimes the time to the minute.

AUDOCRON's main functionality is to automatically chime the hour, and to chime a "ding-dong" on the half hour -- a pleasant, noninvasive, delightful reminder.

With each chime, white light skips along the sides.

It's charm is hard to define. It is music-box-like yet modern. It is mysterious yet simple. It goes well in both contemporary, and traditional settings. Both men and women love it. A conversation piece that makes adults want to giggle.

Your price is $99 ewith black sides, or $119 with blue mirror sides.
