Actually these clocks can be bought here i nthe UK quite easily (see
Private Eye for details.)

Some years ago we gave one to a chum whos is a full professor of Physics
at a london college, and he has it in his room above his head so that he
can't see it, but students in tutorials/semainars etc can.  Result -
confusion.  Some spot it, others deny it, and some even try to fix it.

It is a great wheeze.
