Does anyone remember those old school pyramid talking clocks that a lot of office execs would use to decorate their desk. It was this non obnoxious way of being cutting edge and "modern". Gizmodo posted that this Pyramid has been re-issued and is still pretty retro-iffic!
These clocks also remind me of the clear glass/plastic pyramid paper weights that a lot of asian parents had. They all had kaleidoscopic colors from the plastic floating jewels, sparkles and beads. All how the nostalgia kicks in.
