Maclock brings Macintosh Classic back this time as a clock

The Macintosh Classic lives again, sort of. Kokogol’s new Maclock is a miniature tribute to Apple’s 1984 icon, reimagined as a digital clock and alarm with just enough retro flavor to earn a spot on your desk.

Maclock gives digital clocks a nostalgic twist

From a distance, you’d swear this thing booted up System 6. The Maclock nails the look of Apple’s original all-in-one Macintosh, right down to the Finder-style interface on its display. A colorful square replaces the old Apple logo, sidestepping copyright issues but still capturing the vibe.

But it’s not just for looks. The Maclock is fully functional, showing the date and time by default, while also working as a basic alarm clock. With its 1,200 mAh battery, it can run for up to 60 days with the backlight off.

Maclock features and design details

Despite its compact size (8 x 9.1 x 11.2 cm), the Maclock packs in more than novelty. Here’s what it offers:

• Adjustable screen brightness via a front dial
• Floppy disk activation (yes, really insert to power on)
• USB-C port for charging
• On/off button at the rear
• Backlit display with time, date, and alarm mode
• Two-month battery life without backlight

There’s even a little DIY flair; buyers apply the stickers themselves for a final touch of retro fun.

Retro clocks rarely look this clever

The Maclock’s charm isn’t just in its appearance; it’s in the little extras. Starting it with a floppy disk? That’s peak ‘80s energy. And the dial for brightness adjustment brings a tactile feel most digital clocks skip.

While the $29.99 launch price keeps it accessible, Kokogol plans to raise it to $49.99 after the initial batch. With limited quantities in production, there’s no guarantee of a restock once it sells out.

The Maclock doesn’t just tell time. It brings a classic back to life one blinking pixel at a time.
