The clock that really does go back to the future. Whilst it may look like a normal classic clock, the Backwards Clock is anything but. The numbers are in a mirrored position to a normal clock face, and the minute, hour and second hand tick backwards. It's such a simple transition from clockwise to anti-clockwise, and yet it's amazing how much it does everybody's head in.
All those years of learning about the little hand and the big hand are suddenly out of the window, and you find yourself incapable of telling the time at speed. Makes the act of checking the time less mundane and more insane, and of course also gives you the perfect excuse for being late.

Customer Reviews for Backwards Clock
A clock that defies the laws of clock.
A clock that goes anti-clockwise is not a clock, or is it???
This clock is superb! Big and in your face and is guaranteed to turn heads from your friends and to give you a laugh when you ask them to tell you the time on the spot. Thanks to IWOOT I got an inexpensive clock for my other gadgets in my room and what excellent delivery time too!
Daniel, Wakefield
Am I hungover or is that clock going backwards?!!! This is the most ingenious invention for confusing anyone at home or work. Just switch it with the usual kitchen clock and watch parents, brothers or co-wokers stare in bemusement before looking at you in desperation, pleading for the time! And now, it is hard for me to tell the time on a normal clock! Please do a wristwatch version of this to stop me from being late for everything!!
Hattie, London
FAN BLOOMING TASTIC! Hung this clock up at work, so funny watching all the confused pilots leaving for lunch 20 minutes early. Ha Ha!
Laura, Downham Market
So I bought your fantastic backwards clock for my cousin's wedding present (she foolishly put 'kitchen clock' on her list) and expected to snigger at her bemusement the next time I went for coffee - BUT NO! She can read it perfectly, at a glance, I mean without even having to think about it. Puzzled? So was I. But it turns out she's been keeping something from us all these years - she can't actually tell the time using an analogue clock. Digital's fine, but she's never got to grips with the numbers and hands thing - except she can do it backwards it appears! Thanks very much IWOOT, you've made me very popular and ensured that my cousin will never be late again - when's the wristwatch version coming out?
Jennie, Halifax
Possibly the GREATEST invention EVER made. How did someone come up with it? Personally I think it must have involved a mirror and a lot of narcotics. Fantastic service might I add IWOOT, ordered yesterday and it's just turned up on my door within 24 hours of my order! Thanks!
James D, Windsor
this thing is so confusing! I put it up, and people are always saying "your clock is broken, oh, hang on..?!?!" its just so funny seeing their puzzled faces!
Dan, Harrogate
You wake up... it's 6 in the morning...you glance at the clock... you suddenly wonder if you've had something to drink! Is the world upside down? Is it inside out? Or have you bought the backwards clock? OH YES! Surprise all your friends with this as they take 20 seconds to work out what's wrong with it. A guaranteed winner as a pressie.
Max H, West Malling
I bought the backwards clock as a Christmas present for my boyfriend in the hope that it would confuse him, and that it did, but not for long. He can now read it almost as easily as an ordinary clock - I'm the one who gets confused! At least he always knows what the time is now.

i love this clock so much it has inspired me to do everything backwards
Hamish Duff, Newcastle
I use this clock to gauge my mental powers for the day.
It sits in my downstairs loo- and every day when I go for a wee I glance at the clock and generally freak the hell out of myself...
I know the day that I don't panic that i'm late for work is the day my brain has finally expanded!
Zoe, London
Marvelous... my friends didn't notice as it is a classic design.... until I asked them what time they would want to leave/eat and then they were completely confused. Worth every penny and more.
Abi Banfield, Brighton
It's the best invention ever!! It's especially good for me as im a Left Hander! ...I'm forever reading and writing things backwards! This makes it sooo much easier!!! Thanks IWOOT
Jamie, Worksop
I bought a backwards clock and it's fantastic - so brilliantly confusing!! Now that I've finally learned to tell the time backwards, I get confused when I look at my normal watch... please make a backwards watch to ease my confusion!!
Rachel, Wonersh
This is without a doubt the best clock in the world. I've replaced our standard boring clock in work with the backwards one and nobody can figure out what's wrong with it! They just stare at it trying to figure out where it looks odd. Of course, it's not really any good for keeping meetings and deadlines, half of our department is on report for tardiness - whoops!
