The football edition of a cuckoo clock has arrived.
With less than 100 days to go until the kick off of the World Cup 2010, football fans everywhere are counting down to a long summer of sport. This year football fans can enjoy the run up with a Limited Edition Football Coo Clock™ from HeadsUp Design.
These special edition Footballer Coo Clocks™ take inspiration from the classic Swiss cuckoo clocks, but incorporate contemporary style and modern functionality. Designed in the England team’s colours of red, white and blue, the clock is decorated with the St. George’s Cross and features a swinging pendulum in the shape of a football.
On the hour, the clock will sound with a football whistle followed by the roar of the ecstatic crowd as the character emerges from inside the clock and kicks a match winning goal. Watch the video to see more:
In addition to the hourly show, goals can also be scored on demand by pressing a button on the side of the clock – regrettably, something confined to the Coo Clocks™ and not applicable in an England penalty shoot out!
The clock comes equipped with a light sensor which automatically shuts off the character when the room becomes dark, ensuring that football fans get a good night’s sleep before each fixture.
The Limited Edition Football Coo Clocks™ retail at £45.00 and are available from www.headsupco.com
Although Abbey Clancy is not sure if she will head to the World Cup in South Africa this summer, it’s a sure bet that she still will not turn away at the chance for a photoshoot.
Every four years the biggest footballing event in the world comes to a pre selected country, and for 31 days, the entire world is gripped on football fever. This year Fabio Capello’s men qualified for the World Cup in South Africa with ease, now the pressure is on to ensure that England are fully prepared to take to the field and fight for the right to place a second star above the three lions. As the nation gets patriotic before the first whistle sales of everything bearing a St Georges cross go through the roof with scarves, flags, banners and beer selling out throughout the nation. This year the emphasis is purely on fashion, and supporting your team with style. As companies now see the commercial gain of a World Cup they are producing more official merchandise than ever before, in an attempt to cash in on the euphoria that can last up to a month during the games, and a long time afterwards. With the style in mind, top designer brands have employed their design teams to create something for the World Cup that not only shows your support for the country of your choice, but also allows you to do so wearing the latest designer name alongside your countries flag.
