About

usa logoThe Headline Clock was created to provide accurate time, but also timely news, stocks, and weather on a regular basis on an omnipresent device that may be in and around your house or office. It is made of metal, wood, and is a true network appliance (a smart device with hi-tech electronics and audio and display technology, including an embedded web server). It is commercial qualityThe news is essentially in the background, non-invasive but omnipresent, for your eye to catch when something important may have just occurred in the world. The alert sounds and indicators are subtle enough to be non-intrusive, but distinct enough to catch your attention. Even though it is a network appliance, there is no monthly or other usage fees or intrusive agreements. You are in control.

Think of it as a news clock, a headline clock, a stock clock, a weather clock, all in one.
