Karlsson's clocks are a regular feature on these pages thanks to their retro styling and this new addition to the range is no exception.
The Retro Digital Wall Clock has striking white and yellow dials on a contrasting black background which give it a nice seventies aesthetic set off by the walnut surround and glass face.
The clock is 25cm square and takes a 1AA battery.
It costs £44.99 and you can buy it from Soulful Toaster.
An interesting design that still catches the eye 35 years after it was introduced – this Heath digital super clock.
It's apparently a 1976 design, with a teak case and a bold digital display, with each orange digital number 'the size of a cigarette box' on a black background. There are also controls on the back for setting the time, with mains offering the power.
The seller claims it is, 'very well-tended, hardly used or probably unused', with little or no signs of age. A few bids on this right now, but the price is still only £6.64, albeit with some days to go.
Pure is battling Roberts for the designer radio crown, but we think this Pure Evoke Mio DAB radio by Orla Kiely just edges the Roberts Cath Kidston radio.
As you can see, the exterior is covered by Orla Kiely's signature stem print, finished off with a mirrored chrome handle and a walnut-veneered cabinet. According to Pocket Lint, it has both DAB and FM reception, with an input for an iPod or MP3 player and the option of the Pure ChargePAK for up to 24 hours of portable listening per charge. Other features include 30 presets and Intellitext and textScan functions for pausing and scrolling through text information.
The Pure Evoke Mio DAB radio by Orla Kiely will be on sale exclusively at John Lewis from early November and at other retailers from March 2011. £149.99 will secure you one. Another shot of the radio over the page.

Vintage seems to be 'in' when it comes to high-end digital cameras right now, with this Fujifilm FinePix X100 promising stiff competition for the Olympus E-P1 and E-P2, not to mention the entire Leica range.
It just might have the looks to match the Leica M9 rangefinder and technically…well, it certainly impresses. Designed for the serious snapper, it packs a 12-megapixel APS-C DSLR sensor, a hybrid viewfinder (mix of optical and electronic), a 2.8-inch LCD screen, continuous shooting at 5fps and the option to shoot HD (720p) video.
Sold with a 23mm F/2 lens as standard, it should be available from early 2011. No price as yet, but we don't expect it to be cheap.
Want a different looking clock and bored of all the flip clocks or 1950s copies currently on the high street? Then how about this dot-matrix clock?
The display method now more associated with retro digital watches or old games of space invaders, but here is given a contemporary look, enhanced by the cool white of the background and casing. Displaying both the time and the day, it's everything you need to be kept up to-do-date.
The clock is available exclusively on the web and costs £250.

Cheers to Riz for flagging up this little bargain – the Pentax Optio H90 camera we featured at the start of the year is now much discounted in the Comet sale – making it a tempting little deal.
Unfortunately, it's the black and silver one above, not the really eye-catching orange and silver version that also launched back then. Oh well, you can't have everything. But we still love the Braun-like looks of this Dieter Rams-inspired design and the fact that those throwback looks are matched by a set og high-end features – 12.1-megapixel sensor, 5x wide angle optical zoom, a 2.7-inch LCD, 720p HD video recording, face detection, smile capture, blink detection, shake reduction and plenty of auto settings.
It was originally on sale for £150, but now you can bag one for £79.99. Like we said, a little bargain.
