The year was 1984: Ronald Regan was president, the Macintosh computer was born, and Seiko's talking Pyramid Talk clock was all the rage. If you missed it the first time around, now is your chance to score an updated version.

The original had the distinction of being the first talking quartz clock, and the newer version appears to retain much of its functionality. However, the update also features LED lighting and speaks the date, weather and temperature data (in Japanese or English) when the top of the pyramid is pressed twice. Unfortunately, the clock is only available in Japan at the moment, but if Seiko does not bring it to the States, it will undoubtedly make its way here through exporters like Japan Trend Shop, Geek Stuff 4 U or Rinkya.
