Yamanote Alarm Clock
If you wish to stay on schedule, and you live in Tokyo, the Yamanote Alarm Clock can help you to be punctual. The face of the alarm clock shows the schedule of the Yamanote line, and the alarm noise can be chosen from seven recordings of actual departure signals. The clock costs 7950 Yen, which is about 48.7 Euro.
This is another product that would be impossible to sell here in Frankfurt, Germany: Not so much because people would dislike the concept, but because our subways are delayed very often.
A web based version of the Yamanote clock also exists.
