When Bang and Olufsen tackles a newfangled case of gimmick , they do it in a very specific means : curiously , stylishly , and with reckless disregard for cost . Exhibit F : The $ 375 BeoTime , a flute - comparable , accelerometer - outfit wireless warning signal clock .
Tied to the blanket chain of Beo dwelling house theater intersection , the BeoTime is a bit minimalist , even by B&O ’s standards — it ’s basically a stylise aluminum stick . But , as I ’m indisputable the salesman will be eager to tell apart you , it does so much more than an aluminum stick ! On top of severalize time , it can wireless throw B&O audio and video products on and off with alarum or nap timer . Menus are navigated with the large snapper push , the snooze electric switch is the gimmick ’s accelerometer , which triggers when the machine is moved , and the alarm can be totally disabled by depress the metal plumber’s helper protruding from the machine ’s end . Time , alarm clock time and alarm source information are displayed on a stage set of abject - reticuloendothelial system panels .
t ’s a spot disappointing to find out that a $ 375 individual - affair gimmick is powered by AA barrage fire ( included ! ) , but Bang and Olufsen say each set will last a year . Besides , if you ’re affluent enough to own the full battery of B&O equipment necessary to in full take advantage of the BeoTime , you ’ve plausibly got some manner of battery - change servant . Available in August . [ Bang and Olufsen ]
