Whittie - I'll be offering a bespoke frame service which could accommodate that kind of finish. Won't be a finish I'd make readily available for now.

Gary - could do. Would double the price though, or more!

Exactly how do you work it then ed?

Obviously won't work straight out the box, what would I have to do on the PC

Take it out the box and plug it in

I set the time 'in the factory' so it's ready to go. There are three holes in the back, you use the blunt end of a biro to set the time when the clocks change and a prescision flat headed screwdriver to set the brightness.

There will be instructions on the website...

Launching the website some time between today and Monday next week. Not sure if I'll be taking orders until 7th April because I'm going on holiday - don't want to be seen to be ignoring e-mails and stuff...

Can't really offer a discount for that - I'm basically not making a profit on them as it stands.

Need to increase your prices then Ed, no point in doing this and not making fook all. Even at £150 quid, with some classy up its own arse branding folk will buy them.

I really wouldnt go down the route of just covering your costs.

Think you're right, it's easier to drop prices than increase them.

Went to show someone in work, and he just thought it was a desktop background going off your website..........

Why isn't there any pics of the actual whole clock rather than closeups on your site dude?

Website looks smart. Needs a better tagline than "quirky clocks that tell the time using words" IMO.

All the pics are whole clock images, it's just the thumbnails that are close ups. Perhaps I should fix that if people are getting the wrong idea. The header images on the news page are just arty close ups though, maybe that's a bad choice for the home page.

Never been a man for words so that's the best tag line I could think of. Maybe that could do with a rethink too..,

I'd definately change the images on home page, mainly from the reaction I recieved from him. Plus it makes sense I suppose.

He also said you had a very precise launch time

2 days isnt alot really for the special offer unless you get a lot of publicity,

do you have insurance too? wouldnt like to think what would happen to you if a fault occurs and a fire or something happens....
