A great alternative to numerical clocks is this worded clock by Biegert & Funk.
Called QlockTwo, this clock tells the time using words highlighted by LEDs. It is available in numerous colours and languages.
I like how the smooth design and structured typographic grid compliment the illuminated words and make it stand out.
You can purchase the QlockTwo in various colours and languages via Biegert & Funk’s online store.
And there’s also an iPhone application available!
What a great concept, I’ve been thinking about something along these lines for a while. Might have to purchase the somewhat more affordable iPhone version though!
Beautiful idea and execution. Absolutely brutal price.
I’ll stick to the javascript version for now – http://zachchadwick.com/klok

It would be great if it weren’t for the hundreds of typos in the spanish version :-S
