Want one.

Daka Development Ltd. has patented this funky "pin clock" which displays the time like those pre-digital flip-clocks, but using pins (like that pin toy where you can mold your face or *ahem* whatever). From their promotional material:

As time passes, a precision engineered mechanism lifts and retracts selected pins to display hours and minutes. This mechanism also produces a satisfying click with every number change.

The inspiration behind the pin clock comes from the popular toy that uses moving pins to make an impression of one's hand or face as well as the sound "Flipping" seen at most airports or train stations.
