Help me find this desk-clock!

Aod · 26 Mar 2012 at 14:17

Good afternoon OcUK!
Several years ago i owned a desk-clock which i bought from Argos and i loved dearly.

Regrettably, it got broken and thrown away, and i have been unable to locate a replacement.

This is the only picture of it that i have, only showing the base and lower 1/5th;

It had a rotatie-thing around the bottom for different time-zones, and there were three circular LCD displays. the lower one, which you can see, showed the date/Calendar. the middle one showed the temperature, and the one at the top showed the time.

Please help me track down one of these awesome clocks.
It's so awesome that i've actually seen it on TV shows and in movies as part of a set.

Thanks OcUK detectives!

Any luck guys?

Search Google for "World timer weather station"

There a quite a few companies offering them in bulk with personalised branding, might be worth trying to contact them and just asking to purchase one, rather than 10, 25 etc.

Can't find any companies selling them in singles though.

Looks like an updated one.

Not sure about that on Amazon, but I used to work in a shop that sold those, but was made by Oregon Scientific working from old memory.

It's not on their website any more, they might have dropped the model

the annoying thing is, it was only like, £15 from Argos all those years ago.

Still on there. It's on amazon.com not amazon.co.uk. Here's the manufacturer's site http://www.bedol.com/city-three-tier-world-clock-silver-p-1970.html, $12 cheaper than amazon. you can contact them for a list of UK suppliers here.

I meant the Oregon Scientific website

I'll contact one of the "personalised stuff" suppliers and ask for a single unit, they're usually quite helpful with this sort of thing.
