The smart clocks-meet-speakers from Divoom put high-quality sound and classic pixel art into practical use. Maker Terry Lee wanted to merge audio and visual components in speakers with LED displays. The result is a pair of desktop hubs that manage to look both retro cool and modern.

Timebox Mini and Timebox Tivoo help manage your day by doing oh-so many things. Set alarms, monitor temperature and weather, record voice memos, program reminders, play games, and get social media notifications. You can even program the LED screen through an app to display emojis or your own pixel art. It’s a smartened-up way to stay up to date and have interactive, creative fun.
