New clocks shown at the Summer Furniture Market and the American Institute of Decorators Exhibition in Chicago redefine timepieces.

Some use unconventional materials and designs, including aluminum, walnut, pigskin, and plastic cords. Prices vary as inventive units range from child friendly to ornamental pieces, with portable, stylized clocks appearing on wooden balls or three white rods.
