Hello Nasty

The Corpus Clock & Chronophage


Finally, my love of unique timepieces and creepy scary animal things comes together in the most perfect way possible.

Admittedly, with the shiny gold finish, I think it looks like it should be on display with fiber-optic Virgin Mary/waterfall lamps at a flea market. However, I think that just adds to its inherent charms. The close up of the Chronophage--the grasshopper/wasp/dragon thing on top--creeped me the hell out. With its hinged jaw, blinking eyes, and big pointy spider legs, it looks like one of the scarier muppets that populated my childhood nightmares.

Aesthetically pleasing or not, this clock is made of pure unadulterated awesome.
