I never solved a Rubik’s Cube; it’s just one of many shortcomings. But I think I earn points for at least trying again and again. The ’80s Cube Clock evokes those fond but frustrating memories and elevates the cube from toy to useful thing. The digital screen displays either the time, date, temperature or the alarm time, depending on how you twist the top. It may never be as cool to my kid as it is to me, but I can live with that.
